Abstract: This is a request for minor changes to the Fellowship Management System (FMS) application module.The purpose of this change request is for OMB approval of proposed modification to data elements to accommodate the changing need of Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) fellowship program. The proposed change request includes one additional question that will allow the program to assess the written communication skills of a subset of applicants (i.e., applicants invited to the in-person Interview Day). A maximum of 200 applicants are invited to participate in Interview Day each year. During Interview Day, these applicants will log into their FMS application module and respond to a single prompt during a timed, 30-minute session. Applicants will only view and be asked to respond to one of three prompts for the Timed Personal Statement (i.e., Prompt A, Prompt B, or Prompt C). The addition of this question to the subset of 200 applicant respondents represents an additional100 hours of burden and results in an increase from 3485 to 3585 hours.
