the implementation of a new survey instrument to capture career 
outcomes from CPFP alumni and two comparison groups, CPFP applicants 
and NCI F32 awardees. With the diversity of disciplines represented by 
CPFP alumni, the results of this evaluation will be of broad interest 
to the biomedical research training community.

respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 299.
