This generic ICR
is approved to conduct only 1) formative research to inform future
campaigns/messages and 2) evaluations where results will be for
internal agency use only. Approval is not granted for evaluations
where results will be shared outside the agency. Examples of
evaluations that are listed in the supporting statement but which
are not appropriate for generic ICRs include "evaluations of how
well programs reach and resonate with their intended audiences,"
"posttest materials and messages during the outcome evaluation
phase," and "program outcome evaluations." Full ICRs should be
submitted for evaluation activities like these to allow for full
notice and comment. For ICs submitted under this generic ICR, NIH
agrees to submit individual colletions to OMB as they are
implemented, along with all necessary supporting statements (to
include information about research design and analysis, incentives,
burden estimates, approaches to address non-response bias, etc).
OMB will aim to review each IC submission within 14 days; however,
OMB approval should not be assumed if not explicitly granted, even
if 14 days have elapsed since submission. Moreover, NIH will not
provide assurances of confidentiality to respondents unless NIH can
cite the statute which grants NIH the authority to provide such
assurances.
