Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Continuation of Use 
of the Early Career Reviewer Program Online Application and Vetting 
System--Center for Scientific Review (CSR)

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data 
collection projects, Center for Scientific Review, the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed 
projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval.

DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured 
of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of 
this publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or 
request more information on the proposed project, contact: Dr. Monica 
Basco, Early Career Reviewer Program Coordinator, Center for Scientific 
Review, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Room 3030, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 or 
call non-toll-free number (301)-300-3839 or Email your request, 
including your address to: [email protected]. Formal 
requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 requires: Written comments and/or suggestions 
from the public and affected agencies are invited to address one or 
more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.
    Proposed Collection Title: Early Career Reviewer Program Online 
Application and Vetting System--Center for Scientific Review (CSR), 
0925--Extension of Information Collection Request, Center for 
Scientific Review (CSR), National Institutes of Health (NIH) (OMB 
Control Number: 0925-0695; Expiration: 04/30/2017).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Center for Scientific 
Review (CSR) is the portal for NIH grant applications and their review 
for scientific merit. Our mission is to see that NIH grant applications 
receive fair, independent, expert, and timely reviews--free from 
inappropriate influences--so NIH can fund the most promising research. 
To accomplish this goal, Scientific Review Officers (SRO) form study 
sections consisting of scientists who have the technical and scientific 
expertise to evaluate the merit of grant applications. Study section 
members are generally scientists who have established independent 
programs of research as demonstrated by their publications and their 
grant award experiences.
    The CSR Early Career Reviewer program was developed to identify and 
train qualified scientists who are early in their scientific careers 
and who have not had prior CSR review experience. The goals of the 
program are to expose these early career scientists to the peer review 
experience so that they become more competitive as applicants as well 
as to enrich the existing pool of NIH reviewers. Currently, online 
application software, the Early Career Reviewer Application and Vetting 
System, is accessed online by applicants to the Early Career Reviewer 
Program who provide their names, contact information, a description of 
their areas of expertise, their study section preferences, professional 
Curriculum Vitae and links to their professional Web site. This 
Information Collection Request (ICR) is to continue to use the Early 
Career Reviewer Application and Vetting System to process applications 
for the Early Career Reviewer program.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 450.
