    Need and Use of Information Collection: The SIRS is an online data 
collection system whose purpose is to obtain supplemental information 
to the annual Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) submitted by 
grantees of the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program and the 
Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Program. The SIRS 
will collect program-specific data not requested in the RPPR data 
collection system. The IDeA Program is a congressionally mandated, 
long-term interventional program administered by NIGMS aimed at 
developing and/or enhancing the biomedical research competitiveness of 
States and Jurisdictions that lag in NIH funding. The NARCH Program is 
an interagency initiative that provides support to American Indian and 
Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and organizations for conducting research 
in their communities in order to address health disparities, and to 
develop a cadre of competitive AI/AN scientists and health 
professionals. The data collected by SIRS will provide valuable 
information for the following purposes: (1) evaluation of progress by 
individual grantees towards achieving grantee-designated and program-
specified goals and objectives, (2) evaluation of the overall program 
for effectiveness, efficiency, and impact in building biomedical 
research capacity and capability, and (3) analysis of outcome measures 
to determine need for refinements and/or adjustments of different 
program features including but not limited to initiatives and 
eligibility criteria. Data collected from SIRS will be used for various 
regular or ad hoc reporting requests from interested stakeholders that 
include members of Congress, state and local officials, other federal 
agencies, professional societies, media, and other parties.
