Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; Evaluation of 
the NHLBI Proteomics Centers Program: Qualitative Interviews (NHLBI)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 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

is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National 
Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), 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.
    Direct Comments to Omb: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be

Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the NHLBI Proteomics Centers 
Program: Qualitative Interviews 0925-New, National Heart, Lung, and 
Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH)

    Need and Use of Information Collection: The Proteomics Centers 
Program was established in 2010 with the goal of applying proteomic 
approaches to gain a better mechanistic understanding of the 
physiologic pathways underlying defined clinical conditions related to 
heart, lung, and blood diseases. The primary goal of the program is to 
help facilitate a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms in 
heart, lung, and blood diseases which could contribute to more 
effective diagnoses, risk stratification, intervention, and prevention. 
Given the rapid developments in proteomic technologies and approaches 
in the last five years, it is important to determine the extent to 
which the efforts of the centers have matured, leading to discovery of 
new targets for intervention and clinically actionable tool sets. An 
eighteen-month outcome evaluation will coincide with the completion of 
funding for the program. This information collection request is being 
made for one component of this evaluation: semi-structured interviews 
with key informants across four targeted groups, internal and external 
to the program. The results of the evaluation will help determine the 
extent to which these desired outcomes were achieved as well as to 
inform future of proteomics research funding and commitments by the 
NHLBI. The key informant interviews are necessary to understand the 
perspectives of internal and external program stakeholders as it 
relates to the success, limitations, and opportunities that can shape 
future research funding.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 48.
