DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Agency Information Collection Request; 30-Day Public Comment
Request, Grants.gov
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS),
Department of Health and Human Services, is publishing the following
summary of a proposed collection for public comment. Interested persons
are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper performance of the agency's
functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection
burden.
To obtain copies of the supporting statement and any related forms
for the proposed paperwork collections referenced above, e-mail your
request, including your address, phone number, OMB number, and OS
document identifier, to [email protected], or call the
Reports Clearance Office on (202) 690-6162. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed information collections must be

Proposed Project: SF-424 Research & Related (R&R) Form--Revision--
OMB No. 4040-0001--Grants.Gov.
Abstract: The SF-424 (R&R) is the government-wide data set for
research grant applications. The data set provides information to
assist Federal program staff and grants officials in assessing the
adequacy of applicant's proposals to accomplish project objectives and
determine whether grant applications reflect program needs.
Agencies will not be required to collect all of the information in
the proposed data set. The agency will identify the data that must be
provided by applicants through instructions that will accompany the
application package. The proposed data set incorporates proposed
revisions adopted by the cross-agency R&R working group. This working
group established the original proposed data set (4040-0001) in 2004.
The form instructions will also be revised.
We propose two major changes in our revision request. The first
major change is to remove the Project/Performance Site Location(s) form
from the collection. This form will be revised and included in a
separate OMB-approved collection. The Project/Performance Site
Locations(s) forms will be required with all SF-424 form families with
the exception of the SF-424 Individual form. The second major change is
to incorporate into this collection the Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Information
form (OMB Number 0925-0001). The existing SBIR/STTR Information form
(OMB No. 0925-0001) will be discontinued once this R&R collection is
renewed. We are requesting a 3-year extension of the revised form. The
affected public may include Federal, State, Local, or Tribal.
