55318-55319 (84 FR 55318) and allowed 60 days for public comment. No

    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and 
approval of the information collection listed below.
    Proposed Collection Title: Office of Minority Health Research 
Coordination Training and Mentor Programs Applications in use with OMB 
Control Number 0925-0748, exp., date 12/31/2019 REVISION, National 
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: In 2000, the National 
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National 
Institutes of Health established the Office of Minority Health Research 
Coordination to address the burden of diseases and disorders that 
disproportionately impact the health of minority populations. One of 
the major goals of the office is to build and sustain a pipeline of 
researchers from underrepresented populations in the biomedical, 
behavioral, clinical, and social sciences, with a focus on NIDDK 
mission areas. The office accomplishes this goal by administering a 
variety of programs and initiatives to recruit high school through 
post-doctoral educational level individuals into OMHRC research 
training and mentor programs: The Short-Term Research Experience for 
Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP), the Diversity Summer Research 
Training Program (DSRTP) for Undergraduate Students, Network of 
Minority Health Research Investigators (NMRI), the NIH/National Medical 
Association (NMA) Academic Career Fellow Travel Awards, and the NIH/
National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) Academic Career Fellow 
Travel Awards. Identification of participants to matriculate into the 
program and initiatives comes from applications and related forms 
hosted through the NIDDK website. The proposed information collection 
activity is necessary in order to determine the eligibility and quality 
of potential awardees for traineeship in these programs.
    OMB approval is requested for three (3) years. There are no costs 
to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 2,291.
