improving the health of the Nation's underserved by uniting communities 
in need with caring health professionals and by supporting communities' 
efforts to build better systems of care. The NHSC and Nurse Corps 
Interest Capture Form, which is used when HRSA staff presents 
information regarding HRSA funding opportunities for health profession 
students and providers at national and regional conferences and at 
campus recruiting events, is an optional form that a health profession 
student, licensed clinician, faculty member, or clinical site 
administrator can complete and submit to BHW representatives at an 
event. The purpose of the form is to enable individuals and clinical 
sites to ask BHW for periodic program updates and other general 
information regarding opportunities with the NHSC and/or the Nurse 
Corps via email. Completed forms contain information such as the names 
of the individuals, their email address(es), their city and state, the 
organization where they are employed (or the school which they attend), 
the year they intend to graduate (if applicable), how they heard about 
the NHSC/Nurse Corps, and the programs in which they are interested. 
Assistance in completing the form will be given by the BHW staff person 
(or BHW representative) who is present at the event.

this information collection is to share resources and information 
regarding the NHSC and Nurse Corps programs with interested conference/
