comments were received during the 60day period. The purpose of this notice
is to allow an additional 30 days for
public comment. The Office of the
Director (OD), 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 number.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the item(s) contained in this notice,
especially regarding the estimated
public burden and associated response
time, should be directed to the: Office
of Management and Budget, Office of
Regulatory Affairs, OIRA_submission@
omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974,
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 30-days of the date of
this publication.

Director, AREA Program, Office of the
Director, National Institutes of Health,

Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the
NIH Academic Research Enhancement
Award, 0925, NEW submission, Office
of the Director (OD), National Institutes
of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Academic Research
Enhancement Award (AREA) Program is
a grant mechanism spanning most of the
Institutes and Centers (ICs) of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH). The
AREA program was established by
Congress in 1985 to provide support to
scientists at public and private colleges
and universities that receive relatively
small amounts of NIH funding. The
purpose of the program is to support
meritorious research, expose
undergraduate and graduate students to
research, and strengthen the research
environment of the institutions
receiving the grants. In the past three
years alone, the federal government has
awarded approximately 78 million
dollars annually in AREA grants. The
evaluation will allow NIH and Congress
to assess the extent to which the AREA
program is meeting its goals and make
recommendations so that this significant
investment of public funds may be used
as effectively as possible.
The evaluation will utilize the NIH’s
archived data on grants, institutions,
Principal Investigators (PIs) and
students funded with AREA monies.
The evaluation will collect new data
about (1) the quantity and quality of
student participation in AREA projects,
(2) records of PIs’ subsequent funding
histories, (3) applicants’ experiences
with the application process, (4) PIs’
experiences implementing AREA
Program objectives, and (5) the impact
of AREA Program research participation
on student career paths and outcomes.
The results of the evaluation will
indicate the extent to which the AREA
Program is meeting its goals of
supporting meritorious research,
strengthening the research environment
at institutions of higher education that
are not research intensive, and
recruiting and training subsequent
generations of the United States’
biomedical scientist workforce.
Intended audiences include the United
States Congress, staff at NIH’s Institutes
and Centers which make AREA awards,
and staff at NIH’s Office of the Director.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
458.
