Abstract: This is a revision of a currently approved generic clearance to comply with the Administrations goals and priorities and to extend for an additional three years. The revision will continue to allow the continuation of projects for Agency researchers and program staff to test ideas more quickly, respond to the project’s needs as they evolve, and incorporate feedback from participants for flexible, innovative research methods. Any collection under this umbrella is expected to be low in burden.
