Proposed Collection: The SSA–NIH
Collaboration to Improve the Disability

development of tests such as the
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
and the Graduate Management
Admission Test (GMAT).
Development of these instruments is
an iterative process, involving
sequential phases of study in the areas
of item bank development, calibration,
validation, reliability testing and
replenishment of the item banks. CAT
instruments for the Applied Cognition
and Activities of Daily Living domains
will undergo calibration; predictive
validity will be examined; concurrent
validity will be tested against legacy
functional assessment instruments;
reliability and sensitivity will be
examined; and, the item banks will
undergo replenishment to refine the
scope of the questions.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
12,835.

Determination Process: Calibration II,
Predictive Validity Testing & Validation

Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Social Security
Administration (SSA) entered into an
interagency agreement (IAA) with the
National Institutes of Health (NIH),
Clinical Center (CC), Rehabilitation
Medicine Department (RMD), to explore
innovative methods of functional
assessment to improve SSA’s disability
determination process. As part of its
study, NIH recommended item response
theory (IRT) coupled with computer
adaptive testing (CAT) as a promising
approach to efficiently and consistently
capture claimant functional information
to assist SSA adjudicators. IRT is a
framework for the design, analysis, and
scoring of tests, questionnaires, and
similar instruments measuring abilities,
aptitudes, and other variables. It is often
the preferred method for the
