Proposed Collection: Title: An 

Outcome Evaluation of the NIH 

Director’s Pioneer Award (NDPA) 

Program. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection. Need and Use 

of Information Collection: This study 

will assess the NDPA Program outputs 

and outcomes. The primary objectives of 

the study are to assess: (1) Whether the 

NDPA awardees are conducting 

pioneering research, (2) whether there 

are spillover effects on the awardees, 

their lab members, NIH, and the 

scientific community, and (3) to follow 

the careers and ideas proposed by 

NDPA unfunded applicants. The 

findings will provide valuable 

information concerning the success of 

the awardees (pioneers) and whether the 

characteristics of the NDPA program are 

adopted by other NIH programs. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Affected Public: none. Type of 

Respondents: Applicants, Unfunded 

Applicants, Pioneer Lab Members, 

Focus Group Panelists. There are no 

Capital Costs to report. Estimated 

Number of Respondents: 50, Estimated 

Number of Responses per Respondent: 

1: Average Burden Hours Per Response: 

2.14 (60 minutes for awardees, 15 

minutes for unfunded applicants, 30 

minutes for pioneer lab members, and 

10 hours for focus group panelists). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours 

Requested: 284.5 and the annualized 

cost to respondents is estimated at 

$18,181.72. Table l and Table 2, 

respectively, present data concerning 

the burden hours and cost burdens for 

this data collection.
