Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Evaluation of
the NHLBI Proteomics Centers Program: Qualitative Interviews (NHLBI)
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
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on 1/27/2015 page 4,291 and allowed 60-days for public
comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice
is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National
Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), 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
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974,
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days
of the date of this publication.

Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the NHLBI Proteomics Centers
Program: Qualitative Interviews 0925-New, National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Proteomics Centers
Program was established in 2010 with the goal of applying proteomic
approaches to gain a better mechanistic understanding of the
physiologic pathways underlying defined clinical conditions related to
heart, lung, and blood diseases. The primary goal of the program is to
help facilitate a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms in
heart, lung, and blood diseases which could contribute to more
effective diagnoses, risk stratification, intervention, and prevention.
Given the rapid developments in proteomic technologies and approaches
in the last five years, it is important to determine the extent to
which the efforts of the centers have matured, leading to discovery of
new targets for intervention and clinically actionable tool sets. An
eighteen-month outcome evaluation will coincide with the completion of
funding for the program. This information collection request is being
made for one component of this evaluation: semi-structured interviews
with key informants across four targeted groups, internal and external
to the program. The results of the evaluation will help determine the
extent to which these desired outcomes were achieved as well as to
inform future of proteomics research funding and commitments by the
NHLBI. The key informant interviews are necessary to understand the
perspectives of internal and external program stakeholders as it
relates to the success, limitations, and opportunities that can shape
future research funding.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 48.
