SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Scholarships for 
Disadvantaged Students Application OMB No. 0915-0149--Revision.
    Abstract: The purpose of the Scholarships for Disadvantaged 
Students (SDS) Program is to promote diversity among health profession 
students and practitioners by providing funds to eligible schools to 
provide scholarships to full-time, financially needy students from 
disadvantaged backgrounds enrolled in health professions and nursing 
programs.
    To qualify for participation in the SDS program, a school must be 
carrying out a program for recruiting and retaining students from 
disadvantaged backgrounds, including students who are members of racial 
and ethnic minority groups (section 737(d)(1)(B) of the PHS Act). A 
school must meet the eligibility criteria to demonstrate that the 
program has achieved success based on the number and/or percentage of 
students from disadvantaged backgrounds who graduate from the school. 
In awarding SDS funds to eligible schools, funding priority points must 
be given to schools based on the proportion of graduate students 
practicing in primary care, the proportion of underrepresented minority 
students, and the proportion of graduates working in medically 
underserved communities (section 737(c) of the PHS Act).
    Information collected for the SDS application is needed by HRSA to 
determine whether applicant schools meet applicable requirements and 
establish priority points for funding. Applicant schools must complete 
an application for each discipline or program. Data provided includes 
numbers of full-time student enrollment and their racial/ethnicity 
data, full-time enrollment by class year of students from disadvantaged 
background, full-time students graduated, full-time students from 
disadvantaged background graduated, and full-time graduates serving in 
Medically Underserved Communities. Numbers of full-time graduates 
serving in primary care must be provided for schools of medicine, 
osteopathic medicine, dentistry, nursing (graduate degree program), 
physician assistants, dental hygiene, and mental and behavioral health.
    Each school will determine the eligibility of students based on 
financial need and whether a student is from a disadvantaged 
background.
    The SDS program specific form has been revised to reflect a change 
in the order of the fields only. Fields K (Public or Non Profit 
Institution) and H (Point of Contact) have been moved to fields A and B 
respectively. Now Field A is Public or Non Profit Institution and Field 
B is Point of Contact. All other fields remained in sequence and were 
renamed in appropriate letter order.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
