Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Office of Programs
To Enhance Neuroscience (OPEN) Workforce Tracker (National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke)
AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data
collection projects, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke (NINDS), will publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval.
DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured
of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and
instruments, contact: Dr. Cara Long, Health Science Policy Analyst,
Office of Science Policy and Planning, NINDS, NIH, 31 Center Drive,
Building 31, Room 8A52, Bethesda, MD 20892, or call non-toll-free
number (301) 496-9271, or Email your request, including your address
to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#63000211024d0f0c0d04230d0a0b4d040c15"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ee8d8f9c8fc082818089ae808786c0898198">[email protected]</span></a>. Formal requests for additional plans and
instruments must be requested in writing.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 requires: written comments and/or suggestions
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: The Office of Programs to Enhance
Neuroscience (OPEN) Workforce Tracker, 0925-New, National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The OPEN Workforce Tracker
database will gather and store information on neuroscience research
trainees who have received NINDS support. The NINDS OPEN will use this
information to analyze diversity-targeted career development program
outcomes, to make improvements to these programs, and to build and
foster a user-friendly community that will allow NINDS to communicate
information and opportunities to current and former awardees, including
those from groups that may be underrepresented and underserved within
federal programs and awards. The OPEN Workforce Tracker will help NINDS
collect structured information that is specific to the requirements of
NINDS programs and that reflects outcome metrics used to assess program
effectiveness. This information includes career stage, position,
publications, degrees, and information related to NIH funding and
external funding received, as well as protected class identifiers (race
and ethnicity, sexual identification, gender, and disability) important
for understanding program participation and outcomes across diverse
groups.
The tracker follows minimization principles: it only collects
relevant and necessary information to accomplish the purposes of
program evaluation and communication, and it will interface with and
pull in relevant information from existing NIH database systems
database systems to minimize reporting burden. The database grants
NINDS awardees the right to access their data held by NINDS and the
ability to copy and correct any information errors. The information
collection is consistent with NINDS's mission and mandate to conduct
and support training in neuroscience (Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 285(j)). Also, this database aligns with the NIH-wide strategic
plan to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA)
through research and support analyses to identify and remove potential
barriers to the implementation and expansion of promising and effective
DEIA practices, policies, and procedures (Objective 3).
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents

other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are
167.
