    Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance for the Research 
Domain Criteria (RDoC) Initiative, 0925-NEW, National Institute of 
Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This NEW COLLECTION request 
serves as notice that the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is 
seeking OMB approval of a generic plan to conduct information 
collections to interface with the scientific community and promote the 
RDoC Initiative. As the lead Federal agency for research on mental 
illnesses, NIMH's mission is to transform the understanding and 
treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, 
paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. To this end, NIMH 
launched the RDoC Initiative in 2009 to implement Strategy 1.4 of the 
2008 NIMH Strategic Plan: ``Develop new ways of classifying disorders 
based on dimensions of observable behaviors and brain functions.'' The 
aim of RDoC is to guide research that begins with disruptions in 
neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms, and then works across 
systems to clarify connections among such disruptions and clinical 
symptoms. The information collected as part of this generic clearance 
will allow NIMH to determine success of the RDoC Initiative, develop 
future directions and endeavors, and to help guide programmatic 
priorities for RDoC and the agency.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents' other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 490.
