Proposed Projects

    Title: Grant Reviewer Recruitment Form.
    OMB: 0970-0455.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families' 
Children's Bureau (CB) is responsible for administering the review of 
eligible grant applications submitted in response to funding 
opportunity announcements issued by CB. CB ensures that the objective 
review process is independent, efficient, effective, economical, and 
complies with the applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 
Applications are reviewed by subject experts knowledgeable in child 
welfare and related fields. Review findings are advisory to CB; CB is 
responsible for making award decisions.
    This announcement is a request for continued approval of the 
information collection system, the Reviewer Recruitment Module (RRM). 
CB uses a Web-based data collection form and database to gather 
critical reviewer information in drop down menu format for data such 
as: Degree, occupation, affiliations with organizations and 
institutions that serve special populations, and demographic 
information that may be voluntarily provided by a potential reviewer.
    These data elements help CB find and select expert grant reviewers 
for objective review committees. The Web-based system permits reviewers 
to access and update their information at will and as needed. The RRM 
is accessible by the general public via https://rrm.grantsolutions.gov/AgencyPortal/cb.aspx.
    Respondents: Generally, our reviewers are current or retired 
professionals with backgrounds in child welfare and related fields and 
in some instances current or former foster care parents or clients.
