    Need and Use of Information Collection: This data collection system 
is being used to track, evaluate and report short and long-term 
outputs, outcomes and impacts of trainees involved in health research 
training programs-specifically tracking this for at least ten years 
following training by having Principal Investigators enter data after 
trainees have completed the program. The data collection system 
provides a streamlined, web-based application permitting principal 
investigators to record career achievement progress by trainee on a 
voluntary basis. FIC, NIEHS, NCI and NIGMS management will use this 
data to monitor, evaluate and adjust grants to ensure desired outcomes 
are achieved, comply with OMB Part requirements, respond to 
congressional inquiries, and as a guide to inform future strategic and 
management decisions regarding the grant 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 16,154.
