Abstract: One of our strategies is to help NIH Scientific Review Officers (SROs) identify experts in prevention science methods to include on their review panels. This strengthens the panels and improves the quality of prevention research supported by NIH. To identify experts in prevention science methods, we developed online survey software that allows us to collect researchers’ names, contact information, and resumes, as well as allows those researchers to identify their level of expertise in a variety of prevention science methods and content areas. The data collected with this survey software populate a web-based Directory that SROs can use to identify researchers with expertise in specific prevention science methods and content areas for invitation to serve on an NIH review panels. This Directory is also shared with review staff in the other NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices, as well as other DHHS agencies.

Short Statement: Based on feedback we received about how to improve the survey from both NIH staff and survey respondents during this three-year period, we have refined the list of existing topics by removing unclear or rarely used topics, revising the wording of some topics to increase clarity and accuracy, and identifying additional topics to include in the survey (outlined below). These changes are intended to make the survey simpler to take by the respondents and to help SROs better identify investigators to serve on review panels. The changes to the survey and the additional information we seek to collect include updating the study design topics (2 new, 3 deleted, 3 revised), research methods topics (5 new, 12 deleted, 15 revised), content topics (7 new, 15 deleted, 9 revised), settings (1 new), and populations (1 deleted). Overall, these changes represent a net change of 16 fewer topics in PRES than what is found in the currently approved version: a total of 15 topics will be added and 31 topics will be removed; 27 topics will be revised. We are estimating a lower level of burden (1,600 respondents and 417 annual burden hours) in this revision request than we did in our last approved OMB renewal and substantive revision in November 2017 (4,120 respondents and 1,550 burden hours
