Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of
Communications and Education International Cancer Research Databank
Branch has created the NCI Cancer Genetics Services Directory on NCI's
Web site Cancer.gov. This directory is a searchable collection of
information about professionals who provide services related to cancer
genetics. These services include cancer risk assessment, genetic
counseling, and genetic susceptibility testing. The professionals have
applied to be in the directory using an online application form and
have met basic criteria outlined on the form.
There are currently 587 genetics professionals listed in the
directory. Approximately 30-60 new professionals are added to the
directory each year. The applicants are nurses, physicians, genetic
counselors, and other professionals who provide services related to
cancer genetics. The information collected on the application form
includes name, professional qualifications, practice locations, and the
area of specialization. The information is updated annually using a
Web-based update mailer that mirrors the application form.
The NCI Cancer Genetics Services Directory is a unique resource for
cancer patients and their families who are looking for information
about their family risk of cancer and genetic counseling. Collecting
applicant information and verifying it annually by using the NCI Cancer
Genetics Services Directory Web-based Application Form and Update
Mailer is important for providing this information to the public and
for keeping it current.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 180.
