Abstract: The Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is responsible for assessing, facilitating, and stimulating research in disease prevention and health promotion, and disseminating the results of this research to improve public health. One priority is to promote the use of the best available methods in prevention research and support the development of better methods. One of our strategies is to help NIH Scientific Review Officers (SROs) identify experts in prevention science methods to include on their review panels. This will strengthen panels and improve the quality of the prevention research supported by NIH.

Short Statement: Since our previously approved OMB request, we have collected data from roughly 2,700 investigators and approximately 30 NIH Scientific Review Officers (SROs) are using the database. The SROs informed us during their piloting and use of the database that there were additional topics they wanted to be included to help them better identify investigators to serve on review panels. Thus, the primary purpose of this OMB clearance request is to collect additional data not collected in the previously deployed online survey including additional study design topics (4 new, 1 deleted), research methods topics (9 new, 1 deleted), content topics (12 new, 1 deleted), populations (6 new, 2 deleted), as well as a new geographic region of research category with 10 new topics and the income category of the region/country in which the research is performed with 4 new topics.
