Terms of Clearance: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is not subject to the PRA. However, the agency should carefully consider whether the addition of questions to contest applications triggers the need for OMB approval under the PRA. We urge the agency to engage in early consultation with their PRA officers and with OMB should they wish to require additional information beyond what is necessary to contact entrants. If the agency plans to undertake many such contests, we suggest that they consider whether a request for a generic approval would be useful. We also remind the agency that requests for emergency clearance must be consistent with the statutory and regulatory provisions.

Abstract: This initiative utilizes the new prize authority in the America COMPETES Act to address the President's call for agencies to increase their use of prizes and challenges to spur innovation and solve difficult problems. The NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), in consultation with the HHS Office of the Secretary and collaborating with the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, is asking contestants to develop software applications (apps) that utilize the wide array of health-related data made available by NCI and other Federal agencies. Contestants will submit innovative solutions to cancer prevention and control challenges faced by consumers, clinicians, or researchers such as behavior risk reduction for prevention/survivorship (e.g., nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation), early detection and screening, informed decision-making, and adherence to treatment regimens. It is estimated that up to 20 contestants will submit apps to the challenge for phase one and an additional four contestants will submit a revised app as finalists. The estimated burden per respondent will be 30 minutes which amounts to an annualized total of 12 hours.

Emergency Justfication: NCI has been working on this effort since January, with the planning team comprised of NCI program staff in consultation with the HHS Office of the Secretary and the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT (ONC). Based on misinterpretation of the social media guidance issued by OMB, it was assumed by ONC and HHS that this contest did not need OMB clearance up until June. Now finding out that it does need OMB clearance, the current time constraints are based on the challenge being publicly announced at the invitation of HHS leadership at the June 9 Health Data Initiative Forum (http://www.iom.edu/Activities/PublicHealth/HealthData.aspx) with a July 1st release date. The two-phases of the innovation challenge are bookended by special conference sessions at the Health 2.0 conference on Sept 25 (for the finalists) and HICSS on Jan. 4th (for the winners). These sessions are designed to provide recognition and feedback to finalists/winners regarding the impact of their apps on cancer prevention/control and integration into existing HIT platforms - ideally leading entrants to submit their ideas to an SBIR concept that will be release in 2012. As we've been advised, launching on July 1st will provide the minimum estimated time (6 weeks) needed for adequate promotion of the challenge and development of innovative apps for submission before judging and travel arrangements need to be made by finalists for the Phase 1 conference session on Sept. 25th.
