Abstract: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT), is requesting a generic clearance to conduct assessment of selected science portfolios. A framework for examining research impact has been developed. DERT proposes to extend our ability to analyze our portfolios through primary data collection. The purpose of the proposed primary data collection is to obtain information from grantees regarding the impact of their funded research in the short-, intermediate- and long-term. This will be done through a survey of grantees that includes questions about the impact of funding on career development, the field of research, commercial product development, clinical practice, business and industry practices, and long-term human and environmental health, as well as satisfaction program support. Each researcher will receive an invitation to complete a 15-minute, close-ended, survey on the web. A paper option will be provided.

Short Statement: NIEHS have identified five additional Institutes that fit under the scope of clearance for NIEHS' Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT) Extramural Grantee Data Collection (OMB Control #: 0925-0657, Expiration Date: 06/30/2015). This change request will minimize duplication and increase efficiency across the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by facilitating the use of an OMB approved data collection instrument by these additional ICs, rather than developing and obtaining clearance for a new data collection instrument. No part of the survey has been changed.
