educational history, standardized examination scores, reference 
information, resume components, employment history, employment 
interests, dissertation research details, letters of recommendation, 
financial aid history, sensitive data, travel information, as well as 
feedback questions about interviews and application submission 
experiences. Sensitive data collected on the applicants: Race, gender, 
ethnicity, relatives at the NIH, and recruitment method, are made 
available only to OITE staff members or in aggregate form to select NIH 
offices and are not used by the admission committees for admission 
consideration.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 16,332.55.
