Proposed Project: National Health Service Corps Travel Request 
Worksheet--Extension

    Clinicians participating in the HRSA National Health Service Corps 
(NHSC) Scholarship Program use the online Travel Request Worksheet to 
receive travel funds from the Federal Government to perform pre-
employment interviews at sites on the NHSC's Opportunities List.
    The travel approval process is initiated when a scholar notifies 
the NHSC of an impending interview at one or more NHSC approved 
practice sites. The Travel Request Worksheet is also used to initiate 
the relocation process after a NHSC scholar has successfully been 
matched to an approved practice site. Upon receipt of the Travel 
Request Worksheet, the NHSC will review and approve or disapprove the 
request and promptly notify the scholar and the NHSC logistics 
contractor regarding travel arrangements and authorization of the 
funding for the site visit or relocation.
    The estimated annual burden is as follows:
