conducted over a three-year period, and 

it will provide feedback to aid in the 

understanding of the target population’s 

knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of 

the DAIDS Policy Implementation 

Program (DPIP). The target population is 

classified as Extramural Researchers 

(ERs), who are recipients of funding 

from DAIDS to conduct and review 

research. This target population is 

comprised of Site Leaders of Clinical 

Research Sites (CRSs) and Research 

Networks and Clinical Site Monitors of 

the CTUs and CRSs. The researchers are 

located globally, and may be part of 

more than one DAIDS funded research 

study and/or network. The DPIP is built 

upon four goals of awareness and 

accessibility, understandability, 

applicability, and harmonization of the 

policies and procedures. The review is 

to determine DPIP’s progression to 

fulfillment of its program goals. The 

results of the review will provide 

DAIDS’ Policy, Training, and Quality 

Assurance Branch (PTQAB) with 

information to guide optimal 

deployment of clinical research policies 

and procedures intended to harmonize, 

standardize and improve DAIDS 

funded/sponsored research. The

understanding of whether the DPIP 

program is implemented and 

functioning as intended to meet its 

program goals. The Estimated number of

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Evaluation of the NIAID HIV 

Vaccine Research Education Initiative 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Institute of Allergy and

projects to be submitted to the Office of

review and approval. 

PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title: Evaluation 

of the NIAID HIV Vaccine Research 

Education Initiative. Type of 

Information Collection Request: New. 

Need and Use of Information Collection: 

Developing a vaccine that protects 

against HIV infection is one of NIAID’s 

highest priorities. To address the need 

for volunteers in HIV vaccine clinical 

trials, and enable NIAID to fulfill its 

Congressional mandate to prevent 

infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, 

NIAID created the NIAID HIV Vaccine 

Research Education Initiative (NHVREI). 

The goal of NHVREI is to increase 

knowledge about and support for HIV 

vaccine research among U.S. 

populations most heavily affected by 

HIV/AIDS—in particular, African 

Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, men who 

have sex with men (MSM), women and 

youth, recognizing the intersection of 

these groups. 

The NHVREI program objectives 

include (1) Increasing awareness of the 

need for an HIV vaccine in communities 

most affected and infected by HIV/ 

AIDS, (2) Improving the public’s 

knowledge of and attitudes toward HIV
