Information Collection Request Title: 

Behavioral Health Integration Evidence 

Based Telehealth Network Program 

Outcome Measures, OMB No. 0906– 

xxxx—New. 

Abstract: This clearance request is for 

OMB approval of a new information 

collection, the Behavioral Health 

Integration Evidence Based Telehealth 

Network Program (BHI EB-TNP) 

Outcome Measures. Under the BHI EBTNP, HRSA administers grants in 

accordance with section 330I(d)(1) of 

the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 

254c–14(d)(1)). The purpose of this 

program is to integrate behavioral health 

services into primary care settings using 

telehealth technology through telehealth 

networks and evaluate the effectiveness 

of such integration. This program 

supports evidence-based projects that 

utilize telehealth technologies through 

telehealth networks in rural and 

underserved areas to (1) improve access 

to integrated behavioral health services 

in primary care settings; and (2) expand 

and improve the quality of health 

information available to health care 

providers by evaluating the 

effectiveness of integrating 

telebehavioral health services into 

primary care settings and establishing 

an evidence-based model that can assist 

health care providers. HRSA created a 

set of outcome measures to evaluate the 

effectiveness of grantees’ services 

programs and monitor their progress 

using performance reporting data. The 

measures address behavioral health and 

substance use disorder priorities, 

originating and distant sites, specialties 

and services by site, volume of services 

by site and specialty, patient travel 

miles saved, and other uses of the 

telehealth network. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: HRSA’s goals for the 

program are to improve access to 

needed services, reduce rural 

practitioner isolation, improve health 

system productivity and efficiency, and 

improve patient outcomes. HRSA 

worked with program grantees to 

develop outcome measures to evaluate 

and monitor the progress of the grantees 

in each of these categories, with specific 

indicators to be reported annually 

through a performance monitoring data 

collection platform/website. Measures 

capture awardee-level and aggregate 

data that illustrate the impact and scope 

of program funding along with assessing 

these efforts. The measures are intended 

to inform HRSA’s progress toward 

meeting program goals, specifically 

improving access to telebehavioral 

health services that support primary 

care providers. 

Likely Respondents: BHI EB-TNP 

grantees. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are 

summarized in the table below.

The National Eye Institute (NEI), 

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. 

In compliance with 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 review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. 

Proposed Collection: Electronic 

Individual Development Plans, 0925– 

0772 and 10/31/2024-Extension, 

National Eye Institute (NEI), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The National Eye Institute’s 

(NEI) Office of the Scientific Director 

(OSD) goal is to train the next 

generation of vision researchers and 

ophthalmologists. Trainees who 

participate in NEI research come with 

different levels of education (student, 

postbaccalaureate, predoctoral 

including graduate and medical 

students, postdoctoral fellows) and for 

different amounts of time (6 months to 

5 years). Training at the NEI focuses on 

scientific and professional skill 

development. To enhance their chances 

of obtaining their ideal career, 

completing an annual Individual 

Development Plan (IDP) is an important 

step in helping a trainee’s career and 

professional development and is 

standard practice in graduate and 

postdoctoral education. An IDP is an 

effective tool for trainees to think about 

their career goals and skills needed to 

achieve them during their time at the 

NEI. Trainees work together with their 

research mentor to organize and 

summarize their research projects, 

consider career goals, and set training 

goals and expectations, both for the 

mentee and mentor. 

This information collection request is 

to implement an electronic Individual 

Development Plan (eIDP). The data 

collected comes from a detailed 

questionnaire focused on responses to 

professional goals and expectations 

while they are at the NEI. It is expected 

that the trainees will complete the eIDP 

annually and by doing so, it will help 

enhance the effectiveness of their 

training by setting clear goals that can 

be monitored not only by the trainee 

themselves but also by their mentor, the 

Training Director, and their 

Administrative Officer. In addition to 

this eIDP, the system will also 

implement an electronic exit survey. 

The data collected comes from a 

detailed questionnaire focused on 

responses to questions focused on 

trainee mentoring and professional 

experiences at the NEI as well as their 

plans after they depart. It is expected 

that the trainees will complete at the 

end of their tenure and that by doing so, 

the NEI Training Program can learn 

about ways to improve career 

development opportunities for future 

trainees as well as learn more about 

trainee job choices to better advise 

fellows. Additionally, we can use the 

survey to help determine mentor 

effectiveness and help identify problems 

in mentoring at the NEI. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

213.
