Submission for OMB review; 30-Day Comment Request: Evaluation of
the Brain Disorders in the Developing World Program of the John E.
Fogarty International Center
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 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. This

comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice
is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The John E.
Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Institutes of Health, may
not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or
implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding

Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the Brain Disorders in the
Developing World Program of the John E. Fogarty International Center,
0925-New, Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This study seeks to
evaluate the management, effectiveness, and outcomes of the Brain
Disorders in the Developing World extramural research program
administered by the John E. Fogarty International Center of NIH. The
purpose of the Brain Disorders in the Developing World program is to
develop collaborative research and capacity building projects on brain
disorders throughout life relevant to low- and middle-income countries.
Awardees are expected to develop innovative projects that contribute to
the long-term goal of building sustainable research capacity in nervous
system function and impairment throughout life. Between FY 2003 and
2012, a total of 148 awards were made under the Brain Disorders
program, and the total investment by Fogarty and its partners at NIH
has been approximately $75 million. The findings of this evaluation
study will provide valuable information concerning: (1) Whether and how
the program has met its goal of supporting research and research
capacity-building on brain disorders in low- and middle-income
countries; (2) the extent to which the program as implemented functions
efficiently and effectively; (3) the extent to which the program is
consistent with the strategic priorities of Fogarty and its partners at
NIH; (4) opportunities to improve upon the current implementation of
the program; and (5) models, best practices, and lessons learned that
may be applicable to other NIH programs, now and in the future.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 123.
