Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: New Collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: OVW Peer Reviewer Database.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1122-XXXX. 
The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Office 
on Violence Against Women.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    The affected public includes individuals whom OVW has identified as 
potential peer reviewers and invited to submit information to the Peer 
Reviewer Database. Every year, OVW posts solicitations for numerous 
grant programs authorized by the Violence Against Women Act to enable 
communities to increase their capacity to respond to crimes of domestic 
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. In order to 
carefully consider which grant applications to recommend for funding, 
OVW assembles peer review panels comprised of experts and practitioners 
to help evaluate and score grant applications based on the requirements 
outlined in the different solicitations for the OVW grant programs. OVW 
assembles peer review panels by inviting experts and practitioners to 
serve as peer reviewers. Participation in the peer review program is 
completely voluntary; however, in order to be considered a peer 
reviewer, the prospective reviewer must enroll in the Database by 
entering their information online (contact information, resume/
curriculum vitae (CV), and other self-identified information, such as 
employee type, education levels, job categories, ethnicity, expertise 
areas, and availability). A reviewer can only access, view, and modify 
their own individual record. OVW staff can access the Database to 
perform searches and review peer reviewer profiles in order to select 
an individual to review applications for a particular OVW grant 
program.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
200 individuals participate in the OVW Peer Reviewer Database.
    An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with 
the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 15 minutes. It is estimated that respondents will take 
less than 15 minutes to complete periodic and infrequent submissions 
and updates to the database. The burden hours for collecting respondent 
data is 50 hours (200 respondents x .25 hours = 50 hours).
    If additional information is required contact: Jerri Murray, 
Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, 
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two 
Constitution Square, 145 N Street NE., Room 3E.405B, Washington, DC 
20530.
