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

Proposed Project: Research Evaluation
and Impact Assessment of ARRA
Comparative Effectiveness Research
Portfolio (New)—OMB No. 0990–NEW–

Abstract: Researchers and
policymakers have emphasized the need
for research on effectiveness of health
care interventions under real-world
conditions in diverse populations and
clinical practice settings, that is,

(CER). The American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA) expanded
Federal resources devoted to CER by
directing $1.1 billion to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) for such research.
ARRA also called for a report to
Congress and the Secretary of HHS on
priority CER topics by the Institute of
Medicine (IOM). The report presented
priority CER topics and
recommendations to support a robust
and sustainable CER enterprise. In
addition, ARRA established the Federal
Coordinating Council on Comparative
Effectiveness Research (FCCCER) to
help coordinate and minimize
duplicative efforts of Federally
sponsored CER across multiple agencies
and to advise the President and
Congress on how to allocate Federal
CER expenditures.
This project seeks to evaluate and
assess the products and outcomes of
ARRA-funded CER investments and the
impacts of those investments on the
priority topics recommended by IOM
and on the categories and themes of the
FCCCER framework. The primary goals
of this evaluation are to (1) conduct an
initial assessment of the ARRA CER
portfolio, cataloguing how CER funding
was invested to achieve the vision of the
FCCCER and assessing initial impact
from the perspective of various
stakeholders; and (2) lay the
groundwork for future CER investments
by identifying investment opportunities,
evidence gaps and lessons learned.
