    In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the National 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: A Generic Submission for Formative Research, 
Pre-testing, Stakeholder Measures and Advocate Forms at NCI, OMB #0925-
0641: Expiration Date 1/31/2021, Reinstatement Without Change. National 
Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information 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 18.
