allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institute
of Mental Health (NIMH), 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

In compliance with 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.
Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance to Collect Stakeholder
Feedback on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) Initiative, 0925-0756,
EXTENSION, exp., date 07/31/2021, National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This request serves as
notice that the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) plans to
collect stakeholder feedback to assess the strengths and weaknesses of
the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative. NIMH launched RDoC in
2009 to implement Strategy 1.4 of the 2008 NIMH Strategic Plan:
``Develop new ways of classifying disorders based on dimensions of
observable behaviors and brain functions.'' Rather than beginning with
a syndrome and then working ``down'' to clarify mechanisms, the aim of
RDoC is to guide research that begins with disruptions in
neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms, and then works across
systems to clarify connections among such disruptions and clinical
symptoms. NIMH has developed social media platforms and tools for the
RDoC initiative, including a dedicated RDoC twitter account (<a href="https://twitter.com/nimh_rdoc">https://twitter.com/nimh_rdoc</a>), the RDoC website, which also houses the RDoC
matrix (<a href="https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/index.shtml">https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/index.shtml</a>),
and several educational and training resources (including webinars) to
educate the field and interface with scientists who may have questions
about RDoC (<a href="https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/rdoc-educational-and-training-resources.shtml">https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/rdoc-educational-and-training-resources.shtml</a>). The evaluation approach will
be conducted using surveys centered around current content (i.e.,
website, twitter, and webinars), as well as open ended surveys that
will cover the scientific content of RDoC. The information collected
will be used by NIMH staff to determine success of the RDoC initiative,
develop future directions and endeavors, and to help guide programmatic
priorities for RDoC and the Institute.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 490.
