OMB Control Number: 0524-0041.
Summary of Collection: The United States Department of Agriculture

The reviews are undertaken to ensure that projects supported by NIFA

electronic questionnaire is used to collect information about potential
panel and ad-hoc reviewers. To ensure the highest quality of funded
research, NIFA must collect reviews in a timely manner and on an
individual application basis. If this information was not collected and
documented, the decision to fund a particular application could be
questioned.
