Proposed collection; Comment Request; A Generic Submission for Theory Development and Validation (NCI)
Under the provisions of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. Proposed Collection: Title: A Generic Submission for Theory Development and Validation (NCI). Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: In order to carry out NCI's legislative mandate to conduct and support research with respect to the causes and prevention of cancer, it is beneficial for NCI, through initiatives in the Behavioral Research Program (BRP), to conduct and support behavioral research informed by and informing theory. Formative research in the area of theory development and validation would provide the basis for developing effective cancer prevention and control strategies, allow for a better understanding of theoretical constructs that influence decisions and actions related to cancer, and ultimately contribute to reducing the U.S. cancer burden.
