Student Applications (NCI)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for 
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This 
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal 
Register on April 9, 2014 (Vol. 79, P. 19632) and allowed 60-days for 
public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this 
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, may not 
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, 
an information collection that has been extended, revised, or 
implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory

or Email your request, including your address to:

    Proposed Collection: Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics 
(DCEG) Fellowship Program and Summer Student Applications (NCI), 
Existing Collection in Use without OMB Control Number, National Cancer 
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Division of Cancer 
Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Office of Education (OE) administers a 
variety of programs and initiatives to recruit pre-college through 
post-doctoral educational level individuals into the Intramural 
Research Program to facilitate their development into future biomedical 
scientists. DCEG trains post-doctoral, doctoral candidates, graduate 
and baccalaureate students, through full time fellowships, summer 
fellowships, and internships in preparation for research careers in 
cancer epidemiology and genetics. The proposed information collection 
involves brief online applications completed by applicants to the full 
time and the summer fellowship programs. Full-time fellowships include: 
Full-time Equivalents (FTE) and non-FTE fellowships for US citizens, 
permanent residents and international fellows. These applications are 
essential to the administration of these training programs as they 
enable OE to determine the eligibility and quality of potential 
awardees; to assess their potential as future scientists; to determine 
where mutual research interests exist; and to make decisions regarding 
which applicants will be proposed and approved for traineeship awards. 
In each case, completing the application is voluntary, but in order to 
receive due consideration, the prospective trainee is encouraged to 
complete all relevant fields. The information is for internal use to 
make decisions about prospective fellows and students that could 
benefit from the DCEG program.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 175.
