Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: New Collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: OVW Peer Reviewer Database.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1122-XXXX.
The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Office
on Violence Against Women.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes individuals whom
OVW has identified as potential peer reviewers and invited to submit
information to the Peer Reviewer Database. Every year, OVW posts
solicitations for numerous grant programs authorized by the Violence
Against Women Act to enable communities to increase their capacity to
respond to crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, and stalking. In order to carefully consider which grant
applications to recommend for funding, OVW assembles peer review panels
comprised of experts and practitioners to help evaluate and score grant
applications based on the requirements outlined in the different
solicitations for the OVW grant programs. OVW assembles peer review
panels by inviting experts and practitioners to serve as peer
reviewers. Participation in the peer review program is completely
voluntary; however, in order to be considered a peer reviewer, the
prospective reviewer must enroll in the Database by entering their
information online (contact information, resume/curriculum vitae (CV),
and other self-identified information, such as employee type, education
levels, job categories, ethnicity, expertise areas, and availability).
A reviewer can only access, view, and modify their own individual
record. OVW staff can access the Database to perform searches and
review peer reviewer profiles in order to select an individual to
review

applications for a particular OVW grant program.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 200
individuals participate in the OVW Peer Reviewer Database.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this
collection is 15 minutes. It is estimated that respondents will take
less than 15 minutes to complete periodic and infrequent submissions
and updates to the database. The burden hours for collecting respondent
data is 50 hours (200 respondents x .25 hours = 50 hours).
