This is a request for approval of an
“Extension” for three years. The National Cancer Institute,
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Office of
Education administers a variety of programs and initiatives to
recruit pre-college through post-doctoral educational level
individuals into the Intramural Research Program to facilitate
their development into future biomedical scientists. DCEG trains
post-doctoral, doctoral candidates, graduate and baccalaureate
students, through full time fellowships, summer fellowships, and
internships in preparation for research careers in cancer
epidemiology and genetics. The proposed information collection
involves brief online applications completed by applicants to the
full time and the summer fellowship programs. Full-time fellowships
include: Full-time Equivalents (FTE) and non-FTE fellowships for US
citizens, permanent residents and international fellows. These
applications are essential to the administration of these training
programs as they enable OE 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. The information is for internal
use to make decisions about prospective fellows and students that
could benefit from the DCEG program.
