    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of these 
revised surveys is to continue to assess the long-term impact and 
outcomes of clinical research training programs provided by the Office 
of Clinical Research Education and Collaboration Outreach, located in 
the Office of Intramural Research, over a ten-year follow-up period. 
The information received from respondents will continue to provide 
insight on the following: impact of the courses on (a) promotion of 
professional competence, (b) research productivity and independence, 
and (c) future career development within clinical, translational and 
academic research settings. These surveys will continue to provide 
preliminary data and guidance in (1) developing recommendations for 
collecting outcomes to assess the effectiveness of the training 
courses, and (2) tracking the impact of the curriculum on participants' 
ability to perform successfully in academic, non-academic, research, 
and non-research settings.
    This revision request is comprised of the addition of 4 new 
surveys: two application surveys for two new certificate programs and 
two generic/template surveys for additional courses as part of the 
clinical research education programs of the office. The clinical 
research education programs include: the Introduction to the Principles 
and Practice of Clinical Research and Principles of Clinical 
Pharmacology, Sabbatical in Clinical Research Management, the NIH 
Summer Course in Clinical and Translational Research, the Ethical and 
Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Research Course (Asynchronous/Online), 
the Clinical Research Curriculum Certificate Program, the Radiology 
Research Certificate Program, and additional future courses.
    OMB revision request approval is requested for 3 years. There are 
no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 2,723.
