an additional 30 days for public comment.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(NINDS), 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 on or after October 1,
1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
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: The OPEN Workforce Tracker, 0925-New, National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
[[Page 2966]]
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.
