Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Project: SAMHSA Application for Peer Grant Reviewers (OMB No. 0930-
0255)--Revision
Section 501(h) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa) directs the Assistant Secretary of the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to establish such peer
review groups as are needed to carry out the requirements of Title V of
the PHS Act. SAMHSA administers a large discretionary grants program
under authorization of Title V, and, for many years, SAMHSA has funded
grants to provide prevention and treatment services related to
substance abuse and mental health.
In support of its grant peer review efforts, SAMHSA desires to
continue to expand the number and types of reviewers it uses on these
grant review committees. To accomplish that end, SAMHSA has determined
that it is important to proactively seek the inclusion of new and
qualified representatives on its peer review groups. Accordingly,
SAMHSA has developed an application form for use by individuals who
wish to apply to serve as peer reviewers.
[[Page 39003]]
The application form has been developed to capture the essential
information about the individual applicants. The most consistent method
to accomplish this is through completion of a standard form by all
interested persons which captures information about knowledge,
education, and experience in a consistent manner from all interested
applicants. SAMHSA will use the information provided on the
applications to identify appropriate peer grant reviewers. Depending on
their experience and qualifications, applicants may be invited to serve
as grant reviewers.
The following changes are proposed in the form:
Added the collection of License # and Expiration Date to
meet 21st Century CURES Act requirements.
Deleted the collection of experienced federal reviewer or
non-federal reviewer information.
Under No SAMHSA Experience section, added collection of
whether or not the potential reviewer had completed SAMHSA reviewer
training with the date.

Tribes or Tribal Organizations
