Proposed Collection: Identifying 

Experts in Prevention Science Methods 

to Include on NIH Review Panels, 

0925—New, Office of Disease 

Prevention (ODP), National Institutes of 

Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The Office of Disease 

Prevention (ODP) is the lead Office at 

the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 

responsible for assessing, facilitating, 

and stimulating research in disease 

prevention and health promotion, and 

disseminating the results of this 

research to improve public health. 

Prevention is preferable to treatment, 

and research on disease prevention is an 

important part of the NIH’s mission. The 

knowledge gained from this research 

leads to stronger clinical practice, health 

policy, and community health 

programs. ODP collaborates with the 

NIH, other Department of Health and 

Human Services (DHHS) agencies, and 

other public and private partners to 

achieve the Office’s mission and goals. 

One of our priorities is to promote the 

use of the best available methods in 

prevention research and support the 

development of better methods. One of 

our strategies is to help the Center for 

Scientific Review (CSR) identify experts 

in prevention science methods to 

include on their review panels. This 

will strengthen the panels and improve 

the quality of the prevention research 

supported by the NIH. To identify 

experts in prevention science methods, 

we worked with our contractor, IQ 

Solutions, Inc., to develop online 

software which will allow us to collect 

scientists’ names, contact information, 

and resumes, as well as to have those 

scientists identify their level of 

expertise in a variety of prevention 

science methods and content areas. The
