Proposed Collection Title: A Generic Submission for Formative

and Education Resources (NCI), 0925-0046, Expiration Date 07/31/2019,
REVISION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection
request is to approve the Generic Submission for Formative Research,
Pretesting and Customer Satisfaction of NCI's Communication and
Education Resources (NCI) for three years. As part of NCI's mandate
from Congress to disseminate information on cancer research, detection,
prevention, and treatment, the Institute develops a wide variety of
messages and materials. Testing these messages and materials assesses
their potential effectiveness in reaching and communicating with their
intended audience while they are still in the developmental stage and
can be revised. The formative research and pretesting process thus
contributes to maximizing NCI's limited dollar resources for
information dissemination and education. NCI also must ensure the
relevance, utility, and appropriateness of the many educational
programs and products that the Institute produces. Customer
satisfaction studies help NCI identify modifications necessary to meet
the needs of NCI's various target audiences. Since the previous
submission, there have been 8 approved sub-studies (and 1 pending) with
an approved request of 1,967 burden hours over 2.5 years. Approval is
requested for the conduct of multiple studies annually using such
methods as interviews, focus groups, and various types of surveys. The
content, timing, and number of respondents to be included in each sub-
study will vary, depending on the nature of the message/material/
program being assessed, the methodology selected, and the target
audiences.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 7,200.
