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: This is a revision request for data collection. In June 2014 we received approval to allow other ICs to use the survey as well (NICHD, NIDCD, NIMH, NINDS, NIEHS, and NCI). NIEHS is leading the request to obtain a revision of this clearance for the ICs listed. We have proposed adding a few new response options to some of the questions based on our experience using the survey over the last 3 years. And we have added one new question related to product commercialization. These changes are highlighted in the attached survey (Attachment 1).
