-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, USAID/CDI
requests comments on a proposed generic collection of information for
USAID-sponsored open innovation competitions prizes, challenges, and
hackathons. USAID/CDI will consider all comments received in response
to this notice before requesting approval of this generic collection of
information from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The
information collected includes: Organizational contact information,
organization size disaggregated by gender, point of contact, the name
of the project, stage and amount of funding requested, partner
organizations and management teams, sectors the innovation addresses,
country(ies) project is situated, presence/absence of permanent offices
in that country, project duration, other sources of funding past and
present including USAID, method and source of referral to the
challenge/prize/hack-a-thon, and detailed information about the
innovation including expected impact.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding the
proposed information collection within 60 calendar days from the date
of this publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding
the information collection to Michael Jackson, USAID, Center for
Development Innovation (CDI) at [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Jackson, USAID, Center for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID/CDI seeks approval of the following
generic collection of information request:
Title: Open innovation competitions--Prizes, Challenges and
hackathons.
OMB Number: not assigned.
Type of Review: Renewal of generic collection.
Method of Collection: electronic.
Frequency of Response: periodically.
Affected Public: Open Innovation Competition contestants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: approximately 800 participants
annually based on current year estimates.
Estimated Time per Response: response time varies depending on the
nature of the open innovation competition from an average estimated
response time of 10 hours/participant which is significantly less than
offerers would be expected to spend on a traditional proposal. Some 100
participants may require as much as 2 additional hours each to provide
additional information upon selection.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 8,200 hours (800 participants x 10
hours/participant) + (100 participants x 2 hours/participant).
General Description of Collection: USAID/CDI establishes open
innovation competitions--prizes, challenges and hackathons to source
breakthrough innovations from innovators around the world to further
USAID's ability to address its development and humanitarian response
priorities.
