    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Center for Cancer 
Training (CCT) is supporting NCI's goal of training cancer researchers 
for the 21st century. To support that goal, CCT created a Graduate 
Student Recruitment Program (GSRP) with the purpose of recruiting 
outstanding young scientists to postdoctoral positions at the NCI. The 
proposed information collection involves brief online applications 
completed by applicants to the full time and summer curriculum 
programs. This information is essential to the program to determine the 
eligibility and quality of potential selected individuals. The 
information is for internal use to make decisions about candidates 
invited to visit NCI and interview with scientist as potential 
postdoctoral trainees.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 225.
