Abstract: HRSA is requesting
reinstatement of the Biographical Sketch
Form for use with applications to the
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
Research Grants (Biographical Sketch)
for HRSA’s SF424 Research and Related
(R&R) application package. These grants
are funded by a number of authorities
such as 42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2) (title V,
section 501(a)(2) of the Social Security
Act) and by 42 U.S.C. 280i-1(f) (title III,
section 399BB(f) of the Public Health
Service Act. The purpose of these grants
is to advance the health and well-being
of Maternal and Child Health
populations and children and
adolescents with autism spectrum
disorder by supporting innovative,
applied, and translational intervention
research studies on critical issues
affecting these populations.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA plans to use the
Biographical Sketch as a required
element of the SF424 R&R application
package. The applicants use the
Biographical Sketch form to summarize
the qualifications of each key personnel
on their proposed research team,
including education/training, positions
and honors, contributions to science,
and related experience. The grant
reviewers will use this information to
assess the capabilities of the research
team to carry out the planned research
project. The Biographical Sketch form
also collects demographic data (race,
ethnicity, and gender) for the Principal
Investigator and key program staff or, for
applicants that are uncomfortable
reporting this information, they can
mark their demographic information as
‘‘Not Reported/Unknown;’’ this will

Collecting demographic information
allows HRSA to determine to what
extent individuals of different
backgrounds are participating. This
information, in addition to other
information including career stage,
geographic location of the institution,
and educational level assists HRSA in
ensuring that federal grant and
cooperative agreement awards are
reaching diverse populations.
HRSA is considering several changes
for the Biographical Sketch:
• Clarifying instructions: Provides the
applicant more information on what
should and should not be included on
the biographical sketch.
• Removal of Section D: Section D:
Related Experience has been removed.
• Removal of Section E: Section E:
Additional Information: Research
Support and/or Scholastic Performance
Awards has been removed.
• ‘‘Some Other Race’’ Category: At
the request of our applicants, this
category was added.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
applicants to HRSA’s Maternal and
Child Health Bureau research programs.
Burden Statement: Burden includes
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, disclosing
and providing information. It also
accounts for time to train personnel,
respond to a collection of information,
search data sources, complete and
review the collection of information,
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.

promulgates regulations, provides
technical assistance, and educates the
public about federal laws that prohibit
recipients of HHS federal financial
assistance from discriminating on the
basis of race, color, national origin,

OCR enforces through the investigation
of complaints and breach reports,

throughout our nation’s social service
and health care systems to advance
equity and accountability, and provides
tools for covered entities and

and obligations under the law.
OCR accomplishes this by:
• Enforcing laws, investigating
complaints, conducting compliance
reviews, promulgating regulations,
developing policy, providing technical
assistance, and engaging in public
education and outreach to ensure
understanding of and compliance with
all the laws OCR has authority over;
• Ensuring that recipients of HHS
federal financial assistance comply with
federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination on the bases of race,
color, national origin, disability, age,
sex, and religion; and
