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.
