## An **nual Reporting Form —** **Al l Questions** 

## National Institute on Disability **and Rehabilitation Research ANNUA**  **L PERFORMA NCE REPORT** 

**Paperw ork**  **Burden Statement**  According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1820

- 0675. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 52 hours per response in a grantee’s first year of award, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. The web

-based system is designed so that, whenever possible, information entered by grantees will be carried forward from one ye ar to the next, with only verification and any necessary u pdating of that information required. Therefore, in subsequent ye ars, grantees will be asked to update that information, which we anticipate will require approximately 2 2 hours for NIDRR’s major programs (i.e., Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers, Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers, Model Systems, Disability Rehabilitation Research Projects) and 10 hours for the other program mechanisms. **If you**  **have any**  **comments concerning**  **the accuracy**  **of the**  **time estimate(s)**  **or suggestions**  **for improving**  **this form,**  **please write**  **to:** U.S. Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20202
