SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Abstract: HRSA’s Division of
Independent Review (DIR) is
responsible for administering the review
of eligible applications submitted for
grants under HRSA competitive
announcements. DIR ensures that the
objective review process is independent,
efficient, effective, economical, and
complies with the applicable statutes,
regulations, and policies. Applications
are reviewed by subject matter experts
knowledgeable in health and public
health disciplines. Review findings are
advisory to HRSA programs responsible
for making award decisions.
This ICR is for continuation of a webbased data collection system, the
Reviewer Recruitment Module (RRM),
used to gather critical reviewer
information. The RRM uses
standardized categories of information
in drop down menu format for data such
as the following: Degree, specialty,
occupation, work setting, and in select
instances, affiliations with organizations
and institutions that serve special
populations. Some program regulations
require that objective review panels
contain consumers of health services.
Other demographic data may be
voluntarily provided by a potential
reviewer. Defined data elements assist
HRSA in finding and selecting expert
reviewers for objective review
committees.
HRSA maintains a roster of
approximately 9,000 qualified
individuals who served on HRSA
objective review committees. The webbased RRM simplifies reviewer
registration entry using a user-friendly
Graphical User Interface with a few data
drop down menu choices, a search
engine that supports key word queries
in the actual resume or Curriculum
Vitae text, and also permits reviewers to
access and update their information as
needed. The RRM is 508 compliant and
accessible by the general public via a
link on the HRSA ‘‘Grants’’ internet site,
or by keying the RRM URL into their
browser. The RRM is accessible using
any of the commonly used internet
browsers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA currently uses the
RRM to collect information from
individuals who wish to volunteer as
objective review committee participants
for the Agency’s discretionary and
competitive grant or cooperative
agreement funding opportunities. The
RRM provides HRSA with an effective
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
search and communication functionality
with which to identify and contact
qualified potential reviewers. The RRM
has an enhanced search and reporting
capability to help DIR ensure that the
HRSA reviewer pool has the necessary
skills, education, and diversity to meet
the ever-evolving need for qualified
reviewers. If DIR identifies any other
specific needs that are underrepresented in the RRM pool, DIR is
able to recruit specifically to address
those needs as expertise is always the
primary determinant in selecting
potential reviewers for any specific
grant review. However, no reviewer is
required to provide demographic
information to join the reviewer pool or
be selected as a reviewer for any
competition.
All HRSA reviewers must possess the
technical skill and ability to access the
internet on a secure desktop laptop or
touch pad, and either a land line or
Voice Over Internet Protocol capability
in order to participate in HRSA
objective review committees. Reviewers
are professionals with expertise and
experience consistent with the HRSA
mission. Certain legislation requires
HRSA programs to include consumers
of specific health care services in the
objective review committee.
Likely Respondents: Potential
respondents are subject matter
professionals with expertise and
experience in the social, cultural, and
health care fields that are consistent
with the HRSA mission and competitive
program needs to address the
availability and delivery of quality
health care to all Americans.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
