Portfolio Analysis, NIMH, 0925-0682, expiration date 1/31/2023, 
EXTENSION, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National 
Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of the ASD 
research portfolio analysis is to collect research funding data from 
U.S. and international ASD research funders, to assist the Interagency 
Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) in fulfilling the requirements of 
the Combating Autism Act, and to inform the committee and interested 
stakeholders of the funding landscape and current directions for ASD 
research. Specifically, these analyses will continue to examine the 
extent to which current funding and research topics align with the IACC 
Strategic Plan for ASD Research. The findings will help guide future 
funding priorities by outlining current gaps and opportunities in ASD 
research as well as serving to highlight annual activities and research 
progress.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 408.
