Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
Request: National Institute of Mental
Health Recruitment and Milestone
Reporting System
Summary: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of

of proposed projects to be submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies

necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information

Need and Use of Information
Collection: Recruitment Milestone
Reporting (RMR) allows NIMH staff to
monitor more accurately the recruitment
of participants in NIMH-sponsored
clinical research studies that plan to
enroll 150 or more human subjects in a
single study. Clinical studies can have
difficulty recruiting, and accurate and
timely reporting is the best way to
ensure proper use of the grant funds.
Investigators develop a recruitment plan
that includes tri-yearly milestones for
recruitment of the total study
population, and for recruitment of racial
and ethnic minority participants. Once
recruitment is scheduled to begin,
investigators report actual progress on
recruitment milestones three times per
year, by April 1, August 1, and
December 1. The primary use of this
information is to ensure that realistic
recruitment targets are established from
the onset of a project, and that these
targets are met throughout the course of
the research. By ensuring timely
recruitment into clinical research
studies, NIMH can reduce the need to
extend timelines or supplement funds
in order to complete the research
project, and potentially increase
efficiency in our funding process.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
1519.
