DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

National Institutes of Health 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Second National 

Survey To Evaluate the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) Small 

Business Innovation Research (SBIR) 

Program 

Summary: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the 

Director (OD), Office of Extramural 

Research (OER) Office of Extramural 

Programs (OEP), National Institutes of 

Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request to review and approve the 

information collection listed below. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on February 15, 2007, pages 

7442–7443 and allowed 60-days for 

public comment. No public comments 

were received. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow an additional 30 days 

for public comment. The 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. 

Proposed Collection 

Title: The Second National Survey to 

Evaluate the Outcomes of the NIH SBIR 

Program. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement with changes. 

Need and Use of the Information 

Collection: The NIH, Office of the 

Director, (OD), Office of Extramural 

Research (OER), Office of Extramural 

Programs (OEP) will seek OMB approval 

to reinstate with changes a prior 

approved collection to conduct a second 

survey to evaluate the outcomes of the 

NIH Small Business Innovation 

Research (SBIR) Program. The SBIR 

Program, established by Congress in 

1982 (Pub. L. 97–219), and reauthorized 

through September 30, 2008 (Pub. L. 

106–554; 15 U.S.C. § 638), provides 

research support to small businesses for 

innovative technology. OMB approved 

the information collection associated 

with the initial National Survey to 

Evaluate the NIH SBIR Program on 

March 15, 2002 (OMB Control No. 

0925–0499), expiration April 30, 2003. 

Through the first National Survey to 

Evaluate the NIH SBIR Program, NIH 

was able to obtain data demonstrating 

significant SBIR programmatic results. 

For example, seventy-three percent of 

the 768 awardee respondents reported 

commercializing new or improved 

products, processes, usages, and/or 

services in health-related fields. Other 

evidence of commercialization from the 

survey were that SBIR projects 

developed 48 drugs and medical devices 

receiving FDA approval; 281 awardees 

received additional funding from nonSBIR sources; and 436 awardees 

engaged in ongoing or completed 

marketing activities. 

NIH will seek OMB approval to 

reinstate this information collection 

with changes with the primary objective 

to assess the extent to which the SBIR 

program goals continue to be met, 

particularly those dealing with the 

commercialization of research products, 

processes or services and the 

uncovering of new knowledge that will 

lead to better health for everyone. With 

outcome data, NIH will be able to more 

accurately assess the results of its large 

financial investment in funding 

innovative research conducted by small 

business concerns. Findings will help 

NIH to (1) understand if innovative
