[[Page 46895]]

Advocate Forms at the National Cancer Institute (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. Past 
research has enabled OAR to monitor stakeholder trends, design and 
develop materials based on user feedback, assess the impact of 
activities, and improve service delivery. Primary users are internal 
with some advocates providing contact information, demographics and 
prior advocacy experience via a link provided to them to input their 
data.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 17.
