[[Page 35018]]

Challenges and benefits of the funding mechanism used to support the 
science; and (5) Emerging research areas and gaps in the research.
    Information gained from this primary data collection will be used 
in conjunction with data from grantee progress reports and 
presentations at grantee meetings to inform internal programs and new 
funding initiatives. Outcome information to be collected includes 
measures of agency-funded research resulting in dissemination of 
findings, investigator career development, grant-funded knowledge and 
products, commercial products and drugs, laws, regulations and 
standards, guidelines and recommendations, information on patents and 
new drug applications and community outreach and public awareness 
relevant to extramural research funding and emerging areas of research. 
Satisfaction information to be collected includes measures of 
satisfaction with the type of funding or program management mechanism 
used, challenges and benefits with the program support received, and 
gaps in the research. Frequency of Response: Once per grantee, per 
research portfolio. Affected Public: Current or past grantees from:
    <bullet> Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health 
and Human Development (NICHD);
    <bullet> National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication 
Disorders (NIDCD);
