Proposed Collection: Identifying
Experts in Prevention Science Methods
to Include on NIH Review Panels,
0925—New, Office of Disease
Prevention (ODP), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Office of Disease
Prevention (ODP) is the lead Office at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
responsible for assessing, facilitating,
and stimulating research in disease
prevention and health promotion, and
disseminating the results of this
research to improve public health.
Prevention is preferable to treatment,
and research on disease prevention is an
important part of the NIH’s mission. The
knowledge gained from this research
leads to stronger clinical practice, health
policy, and community health
programs. ODP collaborates with the
NIH, other Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) agencies, and
other public and private partners to
achieve the Office’s mission and goals.
One of our priorities is to promote the
use of the best available methods in
prevention research and support the
development of better methods. One of
our strategies is to help the Center for
Scientific Review (CSR) identify experts
in prevention science methods to
include on their review panels. This
will strengthen the panels and improve
the quality of the prevention research
supported by the NIH. To identify
experts in prevention science methods,
we worked with our contractor, IQ
Solutions, Inc., to develop online
software which will allow us to collect
scientists’ names, contact information,
and resumes, as well as to have those
scientists identify their level of
expertise in a variety of prevention
science methods and content areas. The

18642
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 66 / Tuesday, April 7, 2015 / Notices
data collected with this software will be
used to create a web-based tool that CSR
staff can use to identify scientists with
expertise in specific prevention science
methods and content areas for invitation
to serve on one of the CSR review
panels. If successful, this system will
also be shared with review staff in the
other Institutes and Centers at the NIH,
as well as other DHHS agencies, to use
in the same way. Given our plans to
create an automated system for reviewer
information collection, we are now
seeking OMB approval. This PRA
clearance request is for the deployment
of this new online software and the
collection of data.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
1,040.

Comment Request; Evaluation of the
NHLBI Proteomics Centers Program:
Qualitative Interviews (NHLBI)
Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on 1/27/2015 page
4,291 and allowed 60-days for public
comment. No public comments were
received. The purpose of this notice is
to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment. The National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute (NHLBI), 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.

Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the
NHLBI Proteomics Centers Program:
Qualitative Interviews 0925–New,
National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH)
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Proteomics Centers
Program was established in 2010 with
the goal of applying proteomic
approaches to gain a better mechanistic
understanding of the physiologic
pathways underlying defined clinical
conditions related to heart, lung, and
blood diseases. The primary goal of the
program is to help facilitate a better
understanding of the underlying
mechanisms in heart, lung, and blood
diseases which could contribute to more
effective diagnoses, risk stratification,
intervention, and prevention. Given the
rapid developments in proteomic
technologies and approaches in the last
five years, it is important to determine
the extent to which the efforts of the
centers have matured, leading to
discovery of new targets for intervention
and clinically actionable tool sets. An
eighteen-month outcome evaluation will
coincide with the completion of funding
for the program. This information
collection request is being made for one
component of this evaluation: semistructured interviews with key
informants across four targeted groups,
internal and external to the program.
The results of the evaluation will help
determine the extent to which these
desired outcomes were achieved as well
as to inform future of proteomics
research funding and commitments by
the NHLBI. The key informant
interviews are necessary to understand
the perspectives of internal and external
program stakeholders as it relates to the
success, limitations, and opportunities
that can shape future research funding.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
48.
