Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: 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 10 approved sub-studies with an approved 
request of just under 1400 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 33,000.
