The survey is used to obtain fiscal
year data on expenditures relating to biomedical research and
development awards and to update and re-base the BRDPI. Data are
obtained from organizations which are recipients of biomedical
research and development awards from the National Institutes of
Health.
There is an adjustment to the
hour burden due to an increase in the number of hours that it will
take respondents to complete the survey since the previous
submission; this is based on information supplied by
respondents.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
