    Proposed Collection Title: Application Process for Clinical 
Research Training and Medical Education at the NIH Clinical Center, 
Revision OMB #0925-0698, Expiration date August 31, 2023, National 
Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The primary objective of 
the application process is to allow the Office of Clinical Research 
Training and Medical Education (OCRTME) at the NIH Clinical Center to 
evaluate applicants' qualifications to determine applicants' 
eligibility for training programs managed by the Office. Applicants 
must provide the required information requested in the respective 
applications to be considered a candidate for participation. 
Information submitted by candidates for training programs is reviewed 
initially by OCRTME administrative staff to establish eligibility for 
participation. Eligible candidates are then referred to the designated 
training program director/administrator or training program selection 
committee for review and decisions regarding acceptance for 
participation. Upon acceptance, OCRTME will collect required 
eligibility documents for respective training programs. A secondary 
objective of the application process is to track enrollment in training 
programs over time.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours 633.
