    Proposed Collection Title: Center for Cancer Training (CCT) 
Application Form for electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP), 
0925-XXXX, Exp., Date XX/XXXX, NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection 
request is to approve the electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP) 
for three years. The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Center for 
Cancer Training (CCT) supports NCI's goal of training cancer 
researchers with various educational levels (postbaccalaureate, 
graduate students, postdoctoral fellows) and for varying periods of 
time (3 months to 5 years). The eIDP is an online, detailed 
questionnaire focused on responses to career and professional goals and 
expectations while the trainee works at the NCI. The eIDP ensures the 
NCI trainees are receiving proper career and professional guidance, 
making appropriate progress, and determining activities to achieve 
their goals. The eIDP is also used to track trainees' career and 
professional goals and to ensure trainees receive the tools needed to 
achieve those goals. It is expected the trainees will complete the eIDP 
annually and that the eIDP process could be improved by their 
responses. The effectiveness of training could also be enhanced by the 
reports received by the trainees completing the eIDP. Individual 
Development Plans have been collected by paper and pencil from trainees 
since 2001. With the implementation of the electronic system, a pilot 
of the eIDP was approved by OMB (#0925-0046) and implemented in 
December 2018. The pilot improved the clarity of the instructions for 
the eIDP system, and incorporated feedback from the trainees to improve 
the overall trainee IDP experience, which advances the effectiveness of 
training.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden are 1,209 hours.
