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: Scientific Information Reporting System
(SIRS), 0925-0735-Resinstatement Without Change--expiration date 03/31/
2019, National Institutes of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
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.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 841.
