Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request: International 
HIV/AIDS Research Fellowship Award Program (NIDA)

SUMMARY:  Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health 
(NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a 
request to review and approve the information collection listed below. 
This proposed information collection was previously published in the 
Federal Register on October 8, 2014, page 60895, and allowed 60 days 
for public comment. No comments were received. The purpose of this 
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The 
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health, 
may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to 
respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, 
or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory 
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974, 
Attention: Desk Officer for NIH.
    Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection 
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days 
of the date of this publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  To obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments or request more information on the 
proposed project contact: Steve W. Gust, Ph.D., Director, NIDA 
International Program, NIDA, NIH, 6001 Executive Blvd., Bethesda, 
Maryland 20892-0234; or call non-toll-free number (301) 443-6480; or 
Email: your request, including your address to: [email protected]. 
Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested 
in writing.
    Proposed Collection: International HIV/AIDS Research Fellowship 
Award Program, 0925-New, National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: Initially this collection 
was part of a clearance request for the application forms for two 
programs, and due to protracted delays in the readiness of one of the 
programs it became necessary to create a stand-alone request for this 
program. This request is for the Application Form for this 
international training program. The program will recruit post-doctoral 
researchers into a new fellowship research training program for HIV and 
drug use. The program will train new researchers in research to advance 
the science of HIV and drug use and foster multinational research in 
this disease area. The program is open to all foreign nationals. The 
Application Form will collect necessary information for determining the 
most meritorious applicants. NIDA is requesting approval from OMB for 
this application form to be used by the Institute's fellowship program 
to train new researchers and fund experienced scientists, of other 
nations, in research to advance the science of HIV and drug use while 
fostering multinational research in this disease area. The application 
form will be web-based.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total annual estimated burden 
hours are 83.
