Proposed Project: Comparative Effectiveness Research Inventory--OMB
No. 0990-New-Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistance Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE) is requesting approval by OMB for the collection of
information submitted by content users directly to a web-based
inventory of comparative effectiveness research (CER). The CER
Inventory will categorize and catalogue Federal and non-Federal CER
outputs and activities across four main domains: research, human &
scientific capital (e.g., training/education, methods development),
data infrastructure, and dissemination & translation. The CER inventory
will serve as a valuable tool for researchers, providers, patients,
policymakers, and other users.
The CER inventory will draw upon primary data sources, including
PubMed, HSRProj, ClinicalTrials.gov, and NIH RePORTER. Working with
these four major sources and using the Federal Coordinating Council for
CER's definition of CER and strategic framework, selection criteria and
tools to select and extract the appropriate subsets of these datasets
for inclusion in the CER inventory will be identified. In addition,
content owners wishing to submit CER records to the CER inventory will
be directed first to submit such records to one of these main primary
source databases, as appropriate. This method will not only help to
augment these existing databases, it will enable efficient and
effective capture of CER information for the CER Inventory via CER
search filters, etc., that have been developed for those respective
source databases. If candidate CER records under consideration are not
suitable for submission to one of these main databases, an alternative
method that allows for direct submissions to the CER inventory will be
made available to content users. Examples include reports and published
articles or projects and programs that focus on areas of CER outside of
primary research (e.g., training and education). The pilot inventory
tool will provide a Web form that may be used by content owners to
submit CER records, subject to validation. This process for direct
submission will draw from the experience with content owner submissions
for such established databases as HSRProj and ClinicalTrials.gov.
