Abstract: We are requesting approval of an extension to the Reviewer Recruitment Module (RRM) form. The electronic form is a simplified, centralized online data collection web page using fewer menus, fewer user-entered fields, and a search function on the reviewer uploaded Curriculum Vitae (CV) or resume data. The reviewer selection is based on professional qualifications using data they enter, answers to menu questions, and a scan of the CV or resume data using key words germane to the specific needs of the peer review. To streamline the registration, selection and assignment of expert grant reviewers for objective review committees, HRSA has used a web-based, centralized data collection Reviewer Recruitment Module (RRM) since 2008 to record critical reviewer information. The RRM standardized reviewer information such as areas of expertise, occupations, work settings, education, and experience. DIR uses the online database to select appropriate reviewers for objective review committees, which evaluate the merits of competitive and discretionary grant applications, and cooperative agreements for funding. Use of a standardized, centralized database has played an important role in the process of composing objective review committees, and enhanced the diversity of the HRSA reviewer pool as required by the (previously described) legislation and policy. Expedited accurate reviewer selection contributes to the reduction in HRSA's time between application receipt and grant award issuance. Professional qualifications, not demographic data, are used as selection criteria.
