SUMMARY:

In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Prosposed Collection: Title: NIH/National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Summer Genetics Institute Alumni Survey. Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: The NINR Summer Genetics Institute Alumni Survey will obtain information on the long-term outcomes of this training program for nurse scientists and faculty. Target participants are alumni of this training institute which began in 2000. The survey inquires about career activities, including research, clinical, teaching and educational activities, since completion of the NINR Summer Genetics Institute. This is a 39-item survey that takes an average of 30 minutes to complete. The findings will provide valuable information on the influence of the Institute in developing genetics research capability among Institute alumni, and development and expansion of clinical practice in genetics among alumni who are nurse clinicians. Frequency of Response: Annual for three (3) years. Affected Public: Individual alumni of the NINR Summer Genetics Institute. Type of Respondents: Nurse scientists, clinicians, and faculty. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 150; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours per Response: .5; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 75. There are no Capital Costs, Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.
