    Background: Title: Partnering for Research: CAM Practitioners and 
Cancer Researchers Conference. Type of Information Collection Request: 
New. Need and Use of Information Collection: OCCAM has long recognized 
that successful cancer CAM research requires strong interdisciplinary 
partnerships between a practitioner of a specific unconventional 
therapy and researchers with experience and resources to perform 
prospective clinical cancer research. OCCAM will be hosting a two-day 
conference in an attempt to learn about the factors that influence 
functional and non-functional collaborations between these two groups 
of cancer CAM stakeholders. The information gathered in this public 
comment session will assist OCCAM in the development and planning of 
the aforementioned conference.
    Request for Comments: Written comments and/or suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies are invited on the following points: (a) 
Examples of both successful and unsuccessful research collaborations 
between CAM practitioners and researchers, and (b) Issues concerning 
research collaborations between CAM practitioners and researchers that 
should be addressed at the upcoming meeting.

    Dated: April 13, 2007.
