Proposed Project: National Health Service Corps Site Application (OMB 
No. 0915-0230)--Revision

    The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) of the Bureau of Clinician 
Recruitment and Service (BCRS), HRSA, is committed to improving the 
health of the Nation's underserved by uniting communities in need with 
caring health professionals, and by supporting their efforts to build 
better systems of care. The NHSC Site Application, which renames and 
revises the previous Recruitment and Retention Assistance Application, 
requests information on the clinical service site, sponsoring agency, 
recruitment contact, staffing levels, service users, charges for 
services, employment policies, and fiscal management capabilities. 
Assistance in completing the application may be obtained through the 
appropriate State Primary Care Offices, State Primary Care Associations 
and the NHSC. The information on the application is used for 
determining the eligibility of sites for assignment of NHSC-obligated 
health professionals

and to verify the need for NHSC clinicians. Approval as an NHSC service 
site is good for three years; sites wishing to remain eligible for 
assignment of NHSC providers must submit a new Site Application every 
three years.
