Review Panels, Office of Disease Prevention (NIH ODP)

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the 
information collection listed below. This proposed information 
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on July 6, 
2017, page 31337 (82 FR 31337) and allowed 60 days for public comment. 
No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to

DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured 
of having their full effect if received within 30-days of the date of 
this publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) 
contained in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public 
burden and associated response time, should be directed to the: Office 
of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory Affairs, 
[email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974, Attn: Desk 
Officer for NIH.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and 
instruments, contact: Dr. Ranell Myles, Public Health Analyst, NIH 
Office of Disease Prevention, 6100 Executive Blvd., Room 2B03, 
Bethesda, MD 20892 or call (301) 827-5579 or email your request, 
including your address to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Disease Prevention, National 
Institutes of Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is 
not required to respond to, an information collection that has been 
extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless 
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and 
approval of the information collection listed below.
    Proposed Collection: Identifying Experts in Prevention Science 
Methods to Include on NIH Review Panels,--REVISION, Office of Disease 
Prevention (ODP), National Institutes of Health (NIH) (OMB# 0925-0728, 
Expiration date 12/31/2018)
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of Disease 
Prevention (ODP) is the lead Office at the National Institutes of 
Health (NIH) responsible for assessing, facilitating, and stimulating 
research in disease prevention and health promotion, and disseminating 
the results of this research to improve public health. Prevention is 
preferable to treatment, and research on disease prevention is an 
important part of the NIH's mission. The knowledge gained from this 
research leads to stronger clinical practice, health policy, and 
community health programs. ODP collaborates with the NIH, other 
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) agencies, and other 
public and private partners to achieve the Office's mission and goals. 
One of our priorities is to promote the use of the best available 
methods in prevention research and support the development of better 
methods. One of our strategies is to help the Center for Scientific 
Review (CSR) identify experts in prevention science methods to include 
on their review panels. This will strengthen the panels and improve the 
quality of the prevention research supported by the NIH. To identify 
experts in prevention science methods, we worked with our contractor, 
IQ Solutions, Inc., to develop online software which will allow us to 
collect scientists' names, contact information, and resumes, as well as 
to have those scientists identify their level of expertise in a variety 
of prevention science methods and content areas. The information 
collected with this software was used to create a web-based tool that 
CSR staff can use to identify scientists with expertise in specific 
prevention science methods and content areas for invitation to serve on 
one of the CSR review panels. This system will also be shared with 
review staff in the other Institutes and Centers at the NIH, as well as 
other DHHS agencies, to use in the same way. Given our plans to create 
an automated system for reviewer information collection, we are now 
seeking OMB approval for an extension and the addition of more 
questions.
    This PRA clearance request is for the collection of additional data 
not collected in the previously deployed online software and survey 
including additional study design topics, research methods topics, 
content topics, as well as the geographic region of research, and the 
income category of the region/country in which the research is 
performed. The request also includes asking researchers who have 
already completed previous versions of the survey to update their 
information based on the revised additional topics.
    OMB revision approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs 
to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 1,550.
