Proposed Collection; Comment Request--Interactive Diet and 
Activity Tracking in AARP (iDATA): Biomarker Based Validation Study

    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 
Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will 
publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Proposed Collection: Title: Interactive Diet and Activity Tracking 
in AARP (iDATA): Biomarker Based Validation Study.
    Type of Information Collection Request: New.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The AARP-based study is one 
component of a multi-center biomarker validation study project 
involving two other large cohorts in the United States. The iDATA study 
involves large cohorts and provides the necessary sample size to 
evaluate the measurement error structure of the diet and physical 
activity assessment instruments and the heterogeneity of the 
measurement error structure across multiple and diverse study 
populations. The iDATA study will include 1,500 participants from the 
NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study and current AARP membership. The data 
collection instruments adhere to The Public Health Service Act, which 
provides authority to the Risk Factor Monitoring and Methods Branch in 
the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and the Division 
of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics. Both divisions work to reduce 
cancer in the U.S. population by establishing and supporting programs 
for the detection, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer; and 
by collecting, identifying, analyzing and disseminating information on 
cancer research, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Dietary and 
physical activity data will be gathered using the instruments as 
detailed below. In addition, biospecimen and clinic data will be also 
gathered.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Type of Respondents: U.S. adults (persons aged 50-74).
    The annual reporting burden is provided for each study component as 
shown in the table below. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, 
and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
