Proposed Collection: Progress Reports for Center for Global
Health's Low and Mid-Income Countries (LMICs) Global Health
Collaborations, 0925-NEW, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Center for Global
Health's (CGH) Low and Mid-Income Countries (LMICs) Global Health
Collaborations is proposing new program specific progress report
guidelines. The CGH LMIC Global Health Collaborations are part of a
pilot initiative and partnership, between the NCI CGH and the Office of
Cancer Centers (OCC), to promote collaborations between the NCI
designated Cancer Centers and foreign institutions from Low and Middle
Income Countries (LMICs). This collaboration is designed to develop and
implement mutually beneficial global cancer research programs by
increasing the capability of these countries to participate and partner
in cancer research. The proposed guidelines request information about
award performance related to objectives, accomplishments, barriers and
challenges, collaborators, and findings. The information is gathered
six months into the award and 12 months after the award (upon expiry).
This information is needed to monitor the performance of this special
program within NCI, funded through three Request for Proposals (RFPs);
the first was released April 18, 2013 and CGH expects to release
another in 2014 and the final one in 2015. The respondents are the
Principal Investigators of the awards. The information will be used to
monitor individual award performance and the effectiveness of the
program as a whole. Since these projects are funded through the
contract mechanism, the PIs will not be required to submit interim and
final progress reports like other National Institutes of Health
grantees must.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 83.
