    Need and Use of Information Collection: Media-Smart Youth: Eat, 
Think, and Be Active![supreg] is an interactive program designed to 
teach youth ages 11-13 about how media can affect their health. 
Developed by the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of 
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the program includes 10 
lessons on media analysis, nutrition, and physical activity, plus a 
final capstone project. The Media-Smart Youth[supreg] Leaders Program 
is designed for teens and adults, ages 15 years and up, who are 
interested in bringing the Media-Smart Youth program to their 
community. In return for recruiting youth participants, teaching the 10 
lessons, and leading the final project, Media-Smart Youth Leaders will 
receive leadership experience, community service hours, and recognition 
from the NICHD. To help Leaders succeed, the NICHD will provide 
training, ongoing assistance, and a small funding amount for program 
expenses.
    The purpose of this information collection is to solicit 
information from applicants about their qualifications that would make 
them effective Leaders, their reason for wanting to pursue this 
opportunity, and the details of their proposed program (including, but 
not limited to, location, community partner(s), and proposed budget). 
This information will help NICHD staff select the candidates for the 
program who are most likely to succeed in implementing the full 
curriculum and teaching youth effective lessons about nutrition, 
physical activity, and media.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 800.
