from the public and affected agencies are invited to address one or
more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance for Conferences,
Meetings, Workshops, Poster Sessions and Registrations, exp., date 07/
31/2022, Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The information collection
encompassed by this generic clearance continues to allow NIH to select
the most appropriate participants for non-grantee activities sponsored,
organized, and run by NIH staff, according to the type and purpose of
the activity. For example, NIH may develop an application process or
information collection to select a limited number of researchers to
participate in a poster session, identify speakers and panelists with
desired expertise on a specific topic to be covered at a meeting, or
determine which researchers would mostly likely benefit from a training
course or other opportunity. For NIH to plan and conduct activities
that are timely for participants in their field of research, it is
often necessary for such information to be collected within a
relatively short turnaround time. In general, submitted abstracts or
other application materials will be reviewed by an internal NIH
committee responsible for planning the activities. This committee will
be responsible for selecting and notifying participants. The
information collected for these activities generally include title,
author(s), and institution/organization, poster size and character
limitations along with other requirements. This information is
necessary to identify attendees eligible, present research, speak on
panels, and discuss innovative approaches to science and technology for
poster presentations among their peers. The registration form collects
information from interested parties to register them and obtain the
necessary qualifications for conferences, meetings, workshops, poster
sessions, presentations and panels.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 8,875.
