Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This increase is due to the increase on DDRA applications in the past three years, and a subsequest increased burden on institutional project directors as a result of this. Since more students are applying, project directors spend more time screening applications and compiling the institutional submissions. It is also important to note that certain features of the e-Application system require project directors to spend more time on the application process. aculty and student references are now required to submit forms and letters online. They have been needing more technical assistance, which takes time.
