    Proposed Collection: Evaluation of Cancer Control Leadership Forums 
at the Center for Global Health (CGH) (NCI), 0925-NEW, National Cancer 
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This submission is a 
request for OMB to approve the Cancer Control Leadership Forums. These 
workshops are organized and funded by the National Cancer Institute's 
CGH in conjunction with various partners ranging from foreign 
Ministries of Health and research institutions, to international non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) and U.S. academic institutions. The 
goal of the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Control 
Leadership Forums is to increase the capacity of participating 
countries to initiate or enhance cancer control planning and 
implementation in their respective countries. The Forums are an 
opportunity for countries to exchange experiences and ideas about 
creating and implementing comprehensive cancer control plans. The 
proposed evaluation requests information about the outcomes of the 
forums including (1) status of cancer control planning and 
implementation in each participating country, (2) outcomes related to 
the action plans (e.g. developing written materials, completion of 
action items, resources and support acquired),(3) successes and 
challenges related to the action plans, and (4) new cancer control 
partnerships and networks. Baseline information regarding the status of 
cancer control planning and implementation will be collected 3 months 
prior to the Forums in order to inform the development of each Forum. 
The evaluation information will be collected 3-24 months after each 
forum and is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these workshops in 
order to inform future programming and funding decisions.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 108.
