    Information Collection Request Title: Health Workforce Connector 
OMB No. 0906-xxxx--NEW
    Abstract: The Health Workforce Connector is being developed to 
expand on the current National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Jobs Center, 
which includes positions approved for NHSC scholarship and loan 
repayment obligors. The new Health Workforce Connector will provide a 
central platform to connect participants in both the NHSC and NURSE 
Corps programs with facilities that are approved for performance of 
their NHSC or NURSE Corps service obligation. The Health Workforce 
Connector will become a resource that engages any health care 
professional or student interested in providing primary care services 
in underserved communities (whether or not those individuals are 
obligated to the NHSC or NURSE Corps) with facilities in need of health 
care providers. The Health Workforce Connector will also allow users to 
create a profile, search for NHSC and NURSE Corps sites, find job 
opportunities, and will be searchable by Site Points of Contact. Like 
the current NHSC Jobs Center, individuals will be able to use the 
Health Workforce Connector's search capability with Google Maps.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Information will be 
collected from users in the following two ways:
    (1) Account Creation: Creating an account is optional, but to 
create an account, the user will be required to enter their first name, 
last name, and email address. Those are the only mandatory fields in 
the profile account creation process and will be used to send an 
automated email allowing the user to validate their login credentials. 
This information will also be used to validate any users who already 
exist within the Bureau of Health Workforce Management Information 
Systems Solution (BMISS) database and allow an initial import of 
existing data at the request of the user.
    (2) Profile Completion: Users may fill out a profile, but this 
function will be completely optional and will include fields such as 
location, discipline, specialty, and languages spoken. The information 
collected, if `published' by the user, will allow internal BMISS Site 
Points of Contact the ability to search on anyone who may be a 
potential candidate for job opportunities at the site. All information 
collected will be stored within existing secure BMISS databases and 
will be used internally for report generation on an as-needed basis.
    Likely Respondents: Potential users will include individuals 
searching for a health care job opportunity or an NHSC or NURSE Corps 
health care facility, and health care facilities searching for 
potential candidates to fill open health care job opportunities at 
their sites.
    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.
