Abstract: This is a request for OMB to approve this generic submission package on behalf of the NCI Office of Advocacy Relations (OAR). In addition to collecting information for research and customer service, OAR will request information from advocates in order to match them appropriately to NCI activities based on their interest and experience. Approval is requested for the conduct of multiple studies annually using such methods as interviews, focus groups, and various types of surveys.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: This is a revision. This submission has been active over the past couple of years and anticipates a continued activity at the current level. Since less of the previously requested burden hours were used over the course of the past three years, the program is asking for a slight reduction in burden hours. Additionally, over the last two years, OAR has phased out the CARRA program. OAR still maintains and utilizes its robust network of research advocates (including former CARRA members) and plans to broaden the pool by including research advocates with varying levels of experience to best match NCI's activity requests as they arise. The end of the CARRA programs meant many functions of the database are no longer necessary. Due to budgetary restrictions, OAR will not offer any type of incentives or gifts. In addition, statistical analysis will no longer be performed because of the slimmed down advocate matching process.
