for grantees under Parts A, B, and C to
be exempted from the 75 percent core
medical services requirement, they must
request and receive a waiver from
HRSA, as required in the Act.
Beginning in FY 2008, HRSA will
utilize new standards for granting
waivers of the core medical services
requirement for the Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program. These standards meet
the intent of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 to
increase access to core medical services,
including antiretroviral drugs, for
persons with HIV/AIDS and to ensure
that grantees receiving waivers
demonstrate the availability of such
services for individuals with HIV/AIDS
identified and eligible under Title XXVI
of the PHS Act. The core medical
services waiver uniform standard and
waiver request process will apply to
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grant
awards under Parts A, B, and C of Title
XXVI of the PHS Act. Core medical
services waivers will be effective for a
one-year period consistent with the
grant award period.
Grantees must submit a waiver
request with the annual grant
application containing the certifications
and documentation which will be
utilized by HRSA in making

National Institutes of Health
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; NICHD Research Partner
Satisfaction Surveys
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
the information collection listed below.
The proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on July 25, 2007, in Volume 72,
No. 142, pages 40887–40888, and
allowed 60 days for public comment. No
public comments were received. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comment.
The NIH may not conduct or sponsor,
and the respondent is not required to
respond to, an information collection
that has been extended, revised, or
implemented after October 1, 1995,
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: NICHD
Research Partner Satisfaction Surveys.
Type of Information Collection Request:
Extension without change. Need and
Use of Information Collection: Executive
Order 12862 directs agencies that
provide significant services directly to
the public to survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with existing services. With
this submission, the NICHD seeks to
obtain OMB’s generic approval to
conduct customer satisfaction surveys
surrounding its research programs and
activities.
The NICHD was founded in 1963. Its
mission is to ensure, through research,
the birth of healthy infants and the
opportunity for each to reach full
potential in adulthood, unimpaired by
physical or mental disabilities. The
NICHD conducts and supports research
on the many factors that protect and
enhance the process of human growth
and development. The developmental
focus of the NICHD means that its
research portfolio is unusually broad.
NICHD programs include research on
infant mortality, birth defects, learning
disorders, developmental disabilities,
vaccine development, and demographic
and behavioral sciences, among others.
In addition to supporting basic research,
clinical trials, and epidemiological
studies that explore health processes,
the NICHD forms partnerships with
organizations or institutions to ensure
effective use of scientific findings and
research products.
The NICHD utilizes strategic
assessments to support Institute
planning and policy development, and
to help determine programmatic and
scientific objectives and priorities.
Research partner surveys will augment
NICHD’s ongoing efforts to assess
research-related activities. The two
principal objectives are: (1) To measure
the personal satisfaction of research

partners with NICHD programs or
initiatives, including both
responsiveness to scientific aims and
convenience of operations to support
research and its effective use; and (2) to
learn from research partners the ways in
which the NICHD can improve the
overall planning and management of it
programs and initiatives. Findings will
be used to improve NICHD’s research
programs and initiatives in the
following ways: (1) To assess the
effectiveness and efficiency of
operations; (2) to identify opportunities
for improving program performance; (3)
to develop plans to incorporate
innovations in program management; (4)
to measure partner satisfaction and
document program outcomes for
governmental accountability reporting;
and (5) to identify the need for creating
new programs or initiatives or
restructuring existing ones to respond to
emerging scientific opportunities.
Frequency of Response: Annual [As
needed on an ongoing and concurrent
basis]. Affected Public: Members of the
public, researchers, practitioners, and
other health professionals. Type of
Respondents: Members of the public;
eligible grant applicants and actual
applicants (both successful and

potential clinical trials participants. The
annual reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:

per Respondent: 1; Average Burden
Hours per Response: Varies with survey
