NIH seeks public comment on clinical research training survey for healthcare professionals
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The NIH is asking for another round of public comments as it seeks OMB approval to keep using a survey that tracks how its clinical research training programs affect healthcare professionals over time. The survey is meant to measure career progress, research output, independence, and performance in academic and non-academic settings. For businesses, universities, hospitals, and researchers connected to NIH training programs, this means the agency will continue collecting participant feedback and outcome data for up to three years if approved. Respondents are not required to participate unless the survey has a valid OMB control number.
