Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Estimated Time Burden for Applicants
If you apply, register, or respond to NIH OITE forms, there are no monetary fees but responding takes time. NIH estimates a total annualized burden of 14,311 hours across all respondents, with items like NIH-AC Applications estimated at 45 minutes each (10,000 responses) and NIH-AC Reference Letters at 10 minutes each (25,000 responses).
Collection of Sensitive Demographic Data
The NIH OITE application and registration forms will collect sensitive data such as race/ethnicity, sex, relatives at NIH, and recruitment method. That sensitive information will be available only to select OITE staff members or in aggregate to select NIH offices and will not be provided to admissions committees for selection decisions.
Program-Specific Application Requirements
Application and registration templates will collect program-specific information (for programs such as SIP, PBP, GPP, UGSP, and FARE) including recommendation letters, financial-need statements, educational history, resumes, research abstracts, and other eligibility details to assess traineeship eligibility. These tailored templates can enable smoother, program-specific submissions for applicants, trainees, and alumni.
