In compliance with 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.

Proposed Collection: CareerTrac-0925-0568—expiration date April 30, 2021, REVISION, Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases, (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of this data collection system is to track, evaluate and report short and long-term outputs, outcomes and impacts of trainees involved in health research training programs-specifically tracking this for at least ten years following training by having Principal Investigators enter data after trainees have completed the program. The data collection system provides a streamlined, web-based application permitting principal investigators to record career achievement progress by trainee on a voluntary basis. FIC, NCI, NIDDK, and NIEHS management will use this data to monitor, evaluate and adjust grants to ensure desired outcomes are achieved, comply with OMB Part requirements, respond to congressional inquiries, and as a guide to inform future strategic and management decisions regarding the grant 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 12,705.
