career activities, including research, clinical, teaching and 
educational activities, since completion of the NINR Summer Genetics 
Institute. This is a 39-item survey that takes an average of 30 minutes 
to complete. The findings will provide valuable information on the 
influence of the Institute in developing genetics research capability 
among Institute alumni, and development and expansion of clinical 
practice in genetics among alumni who are nurse clinicians. Frequency 
of Response: Annual for three (3) years. Affected Public: Individual 
alumni of the NINR Summer Genetics Institute. Type of Respondents:
