Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)
443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: The Division of Independent Review Grant Reviewer
Recruitment Form (OMB No. 0915-0295)--Extension
HRSA's Division of Independent Review (DIR) is responsible for
carrying out the independent and objective review of all eligible
applications submitted to HRSA. DIR ensures that the independent review
process is efficient, effective, economical, and complies with
statutes, regulations, and
[[Page 13421]]
policies. The review of applications is performed by people
knowledgeable in the field of endeavor for which support is requested
and is advisory to individuals in HRSA responsible for making award
decisions.
To streamline the collection, selection, and assignment of expert
grant reviewers to objective review committees, HRSA utilizes a Web-
based data collection Grant Reviewer Recruitment Form to gather
critical reviewer information. The Grant Reviewer Recruitment Form
standardizes pertinent categories of reviewer information such as areas
of expertise, occupations, work settings, reviewer education, and
experience. This standardized information is automatically entered into
a centralized data base that the Division of Independent Review uses to
determine suitability and to select appropriate reviewers for objective
review committees that judge the merits of grant applications and
cooperative agreements.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Total Hours per Total burden
Instrument respondents respondent responses response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New reviewer.................... 1,380 1 1,380 45 min. 1,035

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total....................... 5,635 .............. 5,635 .............. 3,163
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to
the desk officer for HRSA, either by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. Please direct all
