proposed data collection projects, the
Center for Scientific Review (CSR),
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 purpose of this notice
is to allow 30 days for public comment.
The National Institutes of Health may
not conduct or sponsor and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection that has
been extended, revised, or implemented
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

PROPOSED COLLECTION:

developing additional review modes,
improving study section alignment to
ensure the best reviews, and others.
