[top] Abstract: The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and the Nurse Corps of

the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW), HRSA, are both committed to improving the health of the Nation's underserved by uniting communities in need with caring health professionals and by supporting communities' efforts to build better systems of care. The NHSC and Nurse Corps Interest Capture Form, which is used when HRSA staff presents information regarding HRSA funding opportunities for health profession students and providers at national and regional conferences and at campus recruiting events, is an optional form that a health profession student, licensed clinician, faculty member, or clinical site administrator can complete and submit to BHW representatives at an event. The purpose of the form is to enable individuals and clinical sites to ask BHW for periodic program updates and other general information regarding opportunities with the NHSC and/or the Nurse Corps via email. Completed forms contain information such as the names of the individuals, their email address(es), their city and state, the organization where they are employed (or the school which they attend), the year they intend to graduate (if applicable), how they heard about the NHSC/Nurse Corps, and the programs in which they are interested. Assistance in completing the form will be given by the BHW staff person (or BHW representative) who is present at the event.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The need and purpose of this information collection is to share resources and information regarding the NHSC and Nurse Corps programs with interested conference/event participants.

Likely Respondents: Individual and potential service site conference/event participants interested in the NHSC or Nurse Corps programs.

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this Information Collection Request are summarized in the table below.
