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: Collection of
grant and contract data that may be of
interest to Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs) and small
businesses, 0925 0767, exp., date 05/31/

initiative establishes how each agency
intends to increase the capacity of
HBCUs to compete effectively for
federal grants, contracts, and
cooperative agreements.
PEI is a comprehensive program to
increase the capacity of HBCUs as they
pursue funding opportunities at NIH.
The PEI provides a platform to increase
transparency between HBCUs and NIH
by promoting outreach events and
training opportunities while providing
technical assistance. Through this
initiative the SBPO will assist HBCUs in
identifying NIH contracts, grants, and
other funding programs to increase their
institutional biomedical research
capacity. Currently, there are six HBCU
participants and each selected a
minimum of one small business teaming
partner to pursue NIH funding
opportunities with.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
186.

2023, REVISION, Office of the Director,
Office of Acquisitions and Logistics
Management, Small Business Program
Office, National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The revision includes
registration for system access and smart
matching of opportunities between
HBCUs and small business.
Additionally, the revision provides
reporting functionality within the
system that provides valuable insight to
the NIH SBPO about the HBCUs and
small businesses. The HBCUs and
teaming partners are required to
complete an application to participate
in the Path to Excellence and Innovation
(PEI) initiative. Presidential Executive
Order 13779, The White House Initiative
to Promote Excellence and Innovation at
HBCUs, mandates agencies to assist in
strengthening HBCU’s ability for
equitable participation in federal
programs and explore new ways to
improve the relationship between the
federal government and HBCUs. This

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: Identifying
Experts in Prevention Science Methods
to Include on NIH Review Panels,
OMB# 0925–0728—REVISION, exp. 11/
30/2020, Office of Disease Prevention
(ODP), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Office of Disease
Prevention (ODP) is the lead Office at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
responsible for assessing, facilitating,
and stimulating research in disease
prevention and health promotion, and
disseminating the results of this
research to improve public health.
Prevention is preferable to treatment,
and research on disease prevention is an
important part of the NIH’s mission. The
knowledge gained from this research

scientists with prevention-related
research expertise in specific research
methods and study designs for
invitation to serve as a reviewer on an
NIH study section. This system is also
shared with review staff from other HHS
agencies, to use in the same way. This
OMB revision request is for the
continued collection of existing data
and to update the Prevention Research
Expertise Survey (PRES) tool in order to
capture areas of expertise not previously
collected in the current survey,
including additional study design
topics, research methods, content
topics, and settings in which the
respondent’s research is performed. The
revised PRES also simplifies a question
about the respondent’s previous NIH
review experience and asks researchers
who have already completed previous
versions of the survey to update their
information based on the revised topics.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
417.

leads to stronger clinical practice, health
policy, and community health
programs. ODP collaborates with NIH,
other Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) agencies, and other
public and private partners to achieve
the Office’s mission and goals. One of
ODP’s priorities is to promote the use of
the best available methods in prevention
research and support the development
of better study designs and research
methods. One of our strategies is to help
NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices
identify experts in prevention science
methods to include on their peer review
panels. This strengthens the panels and
improves the quality of the preventionrelated research supported by NIH. To
identify experts in prevention science
methods, we have developed online
software that allows us to collect
scientists’ names, contact information,
and resumes, as well as to have those
scientists identify their level of
expertise in a variety of prevention
science methods and content areas. The
data are used to populate a web-based
tool that NIH staff can use to identify
