Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Post-Award Reporting Requirements Including Research Performance Progress Report Collection (Office of the Director), 43258-43260 [2021-16849]

Download as PDF 43258 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 149 / Friday, August 6, 2021 / Notices through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques of other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Title: 0917–0014, ‘‘Indian Health Service Loan Repayment Program.’’ Type of Information Collection Request: Three year extension approval of this information collection. OMB Control Number: 0917–0014. Forms: Educational and Professional Background, Financial Information, and General Applicant Information (i.e., all forms are part of the LRP application). The LRP application is available in an electronically fillable and fileable format. Need and Use of Information Collection: The IHS LRP identifies health professionals with pre-existing financial obligations for education expenses that meet program criteria and who are qualified and willing to serve at, often remote, IHS health care facilities. Under the program, eligible health professionals sign a contract through which the IHS agrees to repay part or all of their indebtedness in exchange for an initial two-year service commitment to practice fulltime at an eligible Indian health program. This program is necessary to augment the critically low health professional staff at IHS health care facilities. Eligible health professionals wishing to have their health education loans repaid may apply to the IHS LRP. A two-year contract obligation is signed by both parties, and the individual agrees to work at an eligible Indian health program location and provide health services to American Indian and Alaska Native individuals. The information collected via the online application from individuals is analyzed and a score is given to each applicant. This score will determine which applicants will be awarded each fiscal year. The administrative scoring system assigns a score to the geographic location according to vacancy rates for that fiscal year and also considers whether the location is in an isolated area. When an applicant accepts employment at a location, the applicant in turn ‘‘picks-up’’ the score of that location. Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Renewal of a current collection. Affected Public: Individuals and households. Type of Respondents: Individuals. The table below provides: Types of data collection instruments, estimated number of respondents, Number of responses per respondent, annual number of responses, Average burden hour per response, and Total annual burden hour(s).

The Office of the Director (OD) Office of Policy and Extramural Research Administration (OPERA), 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. In compliance with 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. Proposed Collection: Public Health Service (PHS) Post-award Reporting Requirements Including Research Performance Progress Report Collection, Revision, OMB 0925–0002, Expiration Date 2/28/2023, Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This collection is being revised to omit the Inclusion Enrollment E:\FR\FM\06AUN1.SGM 06AUN1 43259 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 149 / Friday, August 6, 2021 / Notices Report form, which is being converted to a Common form to include the Department of Defense (DoD). The Inclusion Enrollment Report is used for all applications involving NIH-defined clinical research. This form is used to report both planned and cumulative (or actual) enrollment, and describes the sex/gender, race, and ethnicity of the study participants. Starting in January 2022, NIH will require will applicants and recipients to provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) instead of the Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number. Also, the application forms will be updated to align with the Grants.gov updated Country and State lists. NIH also anticipates adding an optional field to the end of our forms and applications to get a more accurate assessment of the time it takes our applicants to complete the various forms and applications. The RPPR is required to be used by all NIH, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) grantees. Interim progress reports are required to continue support of a PHS grant for each budget year within a competitive segment. The phased transition to the RPPR required trials are complex and challenging research activities. Oversight systems and tools are critical for NIH to ensure participant safety, data integrity, and accountability of the use of public funds. NIH has been engaged in a multiyear effort to examine how clinical trials are supported and the level of oversight needed. The collection of more structured information in the PHS applications and pre-award reporting requirements as well as continued monitoring and update during the postaward reporting requirements will facilitate NIH’s oversight of clinical trials. In addition, some of the data reported in the RPPR will ultimately be accessible to investigators to update certain sections of forms when registering or reporting their trials with ClinicalTrials.gov. Frequency of response: Applicants may submit applications for published receipt dates. For NRSA awards, fellowships are activated, and trainees appointed. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 532,249. the maintenance of dual reporting processes for a period of time. Continued use of the PHS Noncompeting Continuation Progress Report (PHS 2590), exists for a small group of grantees. This collection also includes other PHS post-award reporting requirements: PHS 416–7 NRSA Termination Notice, PHS 2271 Statement of Appointment, 6031–1 NRSA Annual Payback Activities Certification, HHS 568 Final Invention Statement and Certification, iEdison, and PHS 3734 Statement Relinquishing Interests and Rights in a PHS Research Grant. The PHS 416–7, 2271, and 6031– 1 is used by NRSA recipients to activate, terminate, and provide for payback of a NRSA. Closeout of an award requires a Final Invention Statement (HHS 568) and Final Progress Report. iEdison allows grantees and Federal agencies to meet statutory requirements for reporting inventions and patents. The PHS 3734 serves as the official record of grantee relinquishment of a PHS award when an award is transferred from one grantee institution to another. Pre-award reporting requirements are simultaneously consolidated under 0925–0001 and the changes to the collection here are related.

Statement of Appointment, 6031-1 NRSA Annual Payback Activities 
Certification, HHS 568 Final Invention Statement and Certification, 
iEdison, and PHS 3734 Statement Relinquishing Interests and Rights in a 
PHS Research Grant. The PHS 416-7, 2271, and 6031-1 is used by NRSA 
recipients to activate, terminate, and provide for payback of a NRSA. 
Closeout of an award requires a Final Invention Statement (HHS 568) and 
Final Progress Report. iEdison allows grantees and Federal agencies to 
meet statutory requirements for reporting inventions and patents. The 
PHS 3734 serves as the official record of grantee relinquishment of a

activities. Oversight systems and tools are critical for NIH to ensure 
participant safety, data integrity, and accountability of the use of 
public funds. NIH has been engaged in a multi-year effort to examine

The collection of more structured information in the PHS applications
