Nursing Research (NINR), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: NINR developed a Pediatric
Palliative Care Campaign to address the
communications challenges faced by
health care providers who recommend
and provide palliative care to pediatric
populations. NINR is launching this
effort to increase the use of palliative
care for children living with serious
illness or life-limiting conditions. The
Pediatric Palliative Care Campaign Pilot
Survey will assess the information and
materials being disseminated as part of
the Pediatric Palliative Care Campaign
pilot. Survey findings will help (1)
determine if the pilot campaign is
effective, relevant, and useful to health
care providers who recommend and
provide palliative care to pediatric
populations; (2) to better understand
current perceptions, challenges, and
information needs of health care
providers when it comes to discussing
pediatric palliative care so that
information and materials can be
refined; and (3) examine how effective
the campaign pilot materials are in
starting and continuing a pediatric
palliative care conversation and
addressing the communications needs
of health care providers around this
topic. This assessment will deliver
strategic and actionable guidance for
refining the campaign materials so that
they can be used by a wider audience
of health care providers.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated

Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Center for Scientific
Review (CSR) is the portal for NIH grant
applications and their review for
scientific merit. Our mission is to see
that NIH grant applications receive fair,
independent, expert, and timely
reviews—free from inappropriate
influences—so NIH can fund the most
promising research. To accomplish this
goal, Scientific Review Officers (SRO)
form study sections consisting of
scientists who have the technical and
scientific expertise to evaluate the merit
of grant applications. The CSR Early
Career Reviewer (ECR) program was
developed to identify and train qualified
scientists who are early in their
scientific careers and who have not had
prior CSR review experience. Currently,
the application process involves
repeated email interactions with
potential applicants and manual
management of information. To make
the application process more efficient
for applicants and for CSR staff, we are
working with the Information
Management Branch at CSR to develop
online application software which
includes the collection of applicants’
names, contact information, and
professional CV. This PRA clearance
request is to develop online application
software for ECR program applicants.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
650.

they relate to health promotion and
disease prevention.
Prevention research at the NIH
encompasses research designed both to
promote health and to prevent the onset
of disease, disorders, or injuries and the
progression of asymptomatic disease.
Prevention research targets biology and
genetics, individual behavior, factors in
the social and physical environments,
and health services; and it informs and
evaluates health-related policies and
regulations. Prevention research
includes:
• Identification and assessment of
risk and protective factors.
• Screening and identification of
individuals and groups at risk.
• Development and evaluation of
interventions to reduce risk.
• Translation and dissemination of
effective preventive interventions into
practice.
• Development of research methods
to support this work.
The Office was established in 1986 in
response to a directive in the Health
Research Extension Act of 1985. With
increased attention on the application of
prevention research nationally and the
recent reorganization of ODP, the Office
has embarked on an extensive planning
process to develop a strategic plan for
FY 2013–2018.
Information Requested
This RFI is intended to gather broad
public input on the strategic priorities to
be included in the plan and other
suggestions on how to enhance the
prevention research portfolio at the NIH.
The ODP invites input from prevention
researchers in academia and industry;
from health care professionals, patient
advocates and advocacy organizations,
scientific or professional organizations,
federal agencies; and from other
interested members of the public.
Organizations are strongly encouraged
to submit a single response that reflects
the views of their organization and
membership as a whole.
Your perspectives can include, but are
not limited to, the following topics as
they relate to the six draft strategic
priorities listed below:
• Suggested changes, additions, or
deletions to the list of strategic priorities
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Recommended measurable
objectives associated with an individual
priority
• Appropriate benchmarks for
gauging progress toward each
recommended objective.
Strategic Priority #1: Systematically
monitor NIH investments in prevention
research and the progress and results of
that research.
Strategic Priority #2: Identify and
promote prevention research areas that
deserve expanded effort and investment
by the NIH.
Strategic Priority #3: Promote the use
of the best available methods in
prevention research and support the
development of new and innovative
approaches.
Strategic Priority #4: Encourage
development of collaborative prevention
research projects and facilitate
coordination of such projects across the
NIH and with other public and private
entities.
Strategic Priority #5: Identify and
promote the use of effective evidencebased interventions.
Strategic Priority #6: Increase the
visibility of prevention research at the
NIH and across the country.
In addition to the strategic priorities,
the ODP welcomes suggestions on how
to enhance the prevention research
portfolio at the NIH:
1. Suggested changes to the approach
used by the NIH to develop funding
opportunity announcements that could
improve the quality of prevention
research supported by the NIH.
2. Suggested changes to the approach
used by the NIH to review applications
that could improve the quality of
prevention research supported by the
NIH.
3. Suggested changes to the approach
used by the NIH in managing funded
projects that could improve the quality
of prevention research supported by the
NIH.
