(CPFP)administers a variety of programs and initiatives to recruit post-doctoral educational level individuals into the Intramural and extramural Research Program to facilitate their development into future scientists. CPFP trains post-doctoral fellows through full time fellowships in preparation for research careers in cancer prevention and control. The proposed information collection involves brief online applications completed by applicants to the full time and the summer curriculum programs. Full-time fellowships include: Non-FTE fellowships for U.S. citizens and permanent residents and fellows that are part of the Irish Consortia. These applications are essential to the administration of these training programs as they enable CPFP to determine the eligibility and quality of potential awardees; to assess their potential as future scientists; to determine where mutual research interests exist; and to make decisions regarding which applicants will be proposed and approved for traineeship awards. In each case, completing the application is voluntary, but in order to receive due consideration, the prospective trainee is encouraged to complete all relevant fields. The information is for internal use to make decisions about prospective fellows and students that could benefit from the CPFP program. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 400.
