DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; New Assessment
of NHLBI's Global Health Initiative Collaborating Centers of Excellence
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 3/13/2015, document number 2015-05722, pages 13396-13397.
One comment was 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.
DATES: 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or
request more information on the proposed project, contact: Ms. Deshiree
Belis, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes
of Health, 6705 Rockledge Dr., Suite 6185A, Bethesda, MD 20892, or call
non-toll-free number 301-435-1032, or Email your request, including
your address to [email protected]. Formal requests for additional
plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
Proposed Collection: New Assessment of NHLBI's Global Health
Initiative Collaborating Centers of Excellence (NHLBI), 0925--New,
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This collection proposes to
conduct a one-time outcome evaluation of the NHLBI Global Health
Initiative Centers of Excellence (GHI COE) Program to examine the
extent to which the program achieved its intended objectives in
developing sustainable research and research training capacity, and
advancing information about the prevention and treatment of chronic
non-communicable chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases (CVPD)
in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) populations. The outcome
evaluation will utilize a mixed-methods approach to comprehend each
COE's processes, short term outcomes, and sustainability outcomes/
efforts. Specifically, the evaluation will involve triangulating
quantitative data sources (e.g., archived systematic reporting data),
and qualitative data sources (e.g., archival data and key informant
interview data). Data collected will be used to develop a Case Study
report for each COE outlining their experience with implementing their
program as well as a comprehensive cross-site Lessons Learned Report
describing knowledge and experiences from the overall program,
including similarities and differences across a variety of project
settings and conditions. Findings from interviews will be incorporated
into the Case Studies report and Lessons Learned report, which will be
used by CTRIS to inform NHLBI and NIH stakeholders about structural
issues relevant to planning both global and domestic biomedical
research and training programs with diverse operational conditions and
challenges. Additionally, COEs may utilize the Case Studies report as a
marketing tool to attract additional funding and media coverage.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 36.
