EXISTING INFORMATION COLLECTION WITHOUT AN OMB NUMBER, National Cancer 
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Cancer 
Institute, Division of Cancer Prevention, Cancer Prevention Fellowship 
Program (CPFP) administers a variety of programs and initiatives to 
recruit post-doctoral educational level individuals into the Intramural 
and extramural Research Program to facilitate their development into 
future scientists. CPFP trains post-doctoral fellows through full time 
fellowships in preparation for research careers in cancer prevention 
and control. The proposed information collection involves brief online 
applications completed by applicants to the full time and the summer 
curriculum programs. Full-time fellowships include: Non-FTE fellowships 
for U.S. citizens and permanent residents and fellows that are part of 
the Irish Consortia. These applications are essential to the 
administration of these training programs as they enable CPFP to 
determine the eligibility and quality of potential awardees; to assess 
their potential as future scientists; to determine where mutual 
research interests exist; and to make decisions regarding which 
applicants will be proposed and approved for traineeship awards. In 
each case, completing the application is voluntary, but in order to 
receive due consideration, the prospective trainee is encouraged to 
complete all relevant fields. The information is for internal use to 
make decisions about prospective fellows and students that could 
benefit from the CPFP program.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 400.
