Abstract: NIAID is requesting OMB approval for information collections to improve research approaches and final product development to identify emergent infectious disease threats and comorbidities related to the needs of diverse audiences. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is charged with the conduct and support of research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to allergic and immunologic diseases and disorders. The Evaluation Section of the Strategic Planning and Evaluation Branch (SPEB) at NIAID conducts various types of research, analyses, and assessments to identify and learn about target audience programmatic needs, and gaps. The activities conducted by the Evaluation Section of SPEB helps to ensure that NIAID communicates, educates, and disseminates appropriate, useful and effective resources. The information to be collected as part of this generic clearance will allow the agency to make appropriate adjustments in content and methods used in developmental and testing stages, including peer-review, in order to improve research approaches and final product development.
