Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a 
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:
    Proposed Project: Disadvantaged Assistance Tracking and Outcome 
Report (DATOR)--NEW. The Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) and 
the Centers of Excellence (COE) program provide opportunities for under 
represented minorities and disadvantaged individuals to enter and 
graduate from health professions schools. The Disadvantaged Assistance 
Tracking and Outcome Report (DATOR) will be used to track program 
participants through the health professions pathway to a health 
professions practice outcome. The current inability to track students' 
educational progress in the health professions is a major impediment in 
assessing the outcome of these programs. There is currently no 
identifier used that transcends the various education levels, 
professional disciplines, and educational institutions.
    The DATOR form, to be completed annually by HCOP and COE grantees, 
includes basic data on student participants (name; social security 
number; gender; race/ethnicity; targeted health professions; their 
status in the educational pipeline from pre-professional through 
professional training; financial assistance received under sections 736 
and 739 of the Public Health Service Act in the form of stipends; 
fellowships or per diem; and, their employment or practice setting 
following their entry into the health care work force.)
    Estimates of annualized burden are as follows:
