Proposed Collection Title:
Office of Minority Health Research Coordination Training and Mentor Programs Applications in use with OMB Control Number 0925-0748, exp., date 8/31/2026 REVISION, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection:
In 2000, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health established the Office of Minority Health Research Coordination to address the burden of diseases and disorders that disproportionately impact the health of minority populations. One of the major goals of the office is to build and sustain a pipeline of researchers from underrepresented populations in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences, with a focus on NIDDK mission areas. The office accomplishes this goal by administering a variety of programs and initiatives to recruit high school through post-doctoral educational level individuals into OMHRC research training and mentor programs: The Short-Term Research Experience Program to Unlock Potential (STEP-UP), the Diversity Summer Research Training Program (DSRTP) for Undergraduate Students, Network of Minority Health Research Investigators (NMRI), the NIH/National Medical Association (NMA) Academic Career Fellow Travel Awards, and the NIH/National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) Academic Career Fellow Travel Awards. Identification of participants to matriculate into the program and initiatives comes from applications and related forms hosted through the NIDDK website. The proposed information collection activity is necessary in order to determine the eligibility and quality of potential awardees for traineeship in these programs and to evaluate the effectives of the OMHRC programs in achieving their missions and goals.
OMB approval is requested for three (3) years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1649.
