Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information 
collection listed below.
    Proposed Collection Title: A Generic Submission for Formative 
Research, Pre-testing, Stakeholder Measures and Advocate Forms at NCI, 
0925- 0641. Extension. National Cancer Institute (NCI), National 
Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for OMB 
to approve the extension of the generic collection titled, ``A Generic 
Submission for Formative Research, Pre-testing, Stakeholder Measures 
and Advocate Forms at NCI'' for an additional three years of data 
collection. The Office of Advocacy Relations (OAR) disseminates cancer-
related information to a variety of stakeholders, seeks input and 
feedback, and facilitates collaboration to advance NCI's authorized 
programs. It is beneficial for NCI, through the OAR, to pretest 
strategies, concepts, activities and materials while they are under 
development. Additionally, administrative forms are a necessary part of 
collecting demographic information and areas of interest for advocates. 
Since OAR is responsible for matching advocates to NCI programs and 
initiatives across the cancer continuum, it is necessary to measure the 
satisfaction of both internal and external stakeholders with this 
collaboration. This customer satisfaction research helps ensure the 
relevance, utility, and appropriateness of the many initiatives and 
products that OAR and NCI produce. The OAR will use a variety of 
qualitative (interviews) methodology to conduct this research, allowing 
NCI to: (1) Understand characteristics (attitudes, beliefs, and 
behaviors) of the intended target audience and use this information in 
the development of effective strategies, concepts, activities; (2) use 
a feedback loop to help refine, revise, and enhance OAR's efforts--
ensuring that they have the greatest relevance, utility, 
appropriateness, and impact for/to target audiences; and (3) expend 
limited program resource dollars wisely and effectively. The 
anticipated respondents will consist of: Adult cancer research 
advocates; members of the public; health care professionals; and 
organizational representatives.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 45.
