Health (NIH), may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not

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 Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Customer Participation and Performance Management with NIH Programs,
Processes, Products, and Services (NIH), 0925-0778: Expiration Date 09/
30/2026, Revision, National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This revision of a
currently approved generic clearance is to comply with the
Administrations goals and priorities to continue evaluating the
effectiveness of leadership, programs, and services is essential for
the vitality of any institution. Leadership review at NIH focuses on
the productivity of the IC, management of resources and budget
allocations, training activities, and influence on dimensions of
promotion of investigators and staff and a positive workforce.
Program and service reviews may focus on operational performance;
outputs, outcomes, and impacts; policy compliance, stewardship and
accessibility. Reviews and evaluations may solicit input from IC staff
and leadership (IC Director, Deputy Director, E.O.) and relevant
program participants and stakeholders about the program's
effectiveness, leader, or process. They may include comparisons with
other ICs or programs, external benchmarks, and outcome metrics where
appropriate and applicable. This input should provide meaningful
information that can be used to identify strengths and areas that need
improvement. Reports developed from the review or evaluation may be
presented and shared as needed by the program when necessary. Such
reports may include recommendations and proposed actions to address
areas for improvement. In public or broadly shared reports, any
sensitive information in the reviews or evaluations will be summarized
and presented in aggregate.
This clearance will allow direct assessment and measurement of the
customer/respondent base for participation in and satisfaction with NIH
programs, processes, products, and services. The clearance will also
enable offices to assess participants' experience and accomplishments
during or since participation and their preferences for existing and
future programming, products, and services. The information collected
using these tools informs and supports budgeting, program management
and design, program planning, results reporting, information
dissemination, process improvement, and outreach initiatives.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 3,833.
