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. The 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 ODP’s priorities is to promote
the use of the best available methods in
prevention research and support the
development of better study designs and
research methods. One of our strategies
is to help NIH Institutes, Centers, and
Offices identify experts in prevention
science methods to include on their
peer review panels. This strengthens the
panels and improves the quality of the
prevention-related research supported
by the NIH. To identify experts in
prevention science methods, we have
developed online software that allows
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
data are used to populate a web-based
tool that NIH staff can use to identify
scientists with prevention-related
research expertise in specific research
methods and study designs for
invitation to serve as a reviewer on an
NIH study section. This system is also
shared with other DHHS agency’s
review staff, to use in the same way.
This OMB extension is for the
continued collection of data using the
existing procedures, format, and online
software platform for the Prevention
Research Expertise Survey (PRES). The
purpose of the survey is to maintain a
current directory of experts in
prevention science research methods,
study designs, and scientific content
topics, as well as the geographic region,
setting, and income category of the
region/country in which investigator’s/
respondent’s research is performed.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
417.
