Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a new data collection to assess the CEPI program’s progression to fulfillment of its program goals and will assess whether the CEPI program is implemented and functioning as intended. The program goals for CEPI are: (1) Awareness & Accessibility—The target populations (DAIDS Staff, extramural researchers, external stakeholders) are aware of the DAIDS Critical Events (CE) policy and manual and associated documents and whether the policy and associated documents are PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Average burden per response (in hours) 20/60 30/60 Total annual burden hours 100 75 readily accessible.; (2) Understandability—The Critical Events policy and manual clearly articulate DAIDS expectations for CE policy implementation by the target populations. The CE policy and manual should establish a common base of understanding and promote positive attitudes towards event reporting; and (3) Applicability—Target populations are able to correctly identify which Critical Events have occurred at their sites and are able to apply the CE policy and manual to their events. Findings will provide data to inform DAIDS and Protection of Participants, Evaluation and Policy (ProPEP) leadership regarding further policy deployment decisions. Information collected will be used to determine how effectively the CEPI Program meets extramural researchers’ needs. By assessing the CEPI Program, DAIDS will determine how successfully it is reaching its goals—to facilitate and improve the quality of clinical research conducted within the division. In addition, the CEPI Program assessment will determine whether previously recommended improvements included in the DPIP assessment were successfully incorporated into the policy rollout process. The results may be used as a model for policy development to facilitate compliance in reporting certain incidents and implementation in other National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers (ICs) and will be shared with all interested divisions and institutes within the NIH. There are no plans to share this information with the public. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 386. E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1
