is to train early career scientists from diverse disciplines to become 
outstanding independent researchers and leaders. This postdoctoral 
program conducted on-site at NCI has been in existence for over 25 
years and has approximately 200 alumni. The current study will focus on 
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.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 197.
