{"abstract":"In compliance with the requirement 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: Survey of Non-Federal Funding Sources for Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Research. Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: The goal of this study is to collect information that will allow the NCI Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) to develop a directory of organizations external to the Federal Government that offer funding for cancer CAM research. This study will assist OCCAM in its mission to increase the quality of cancer CAM research supported by the NCI. One of the hurdles that many cancer CAM researchers encounter is the difficulty of obtaining research funding-- and in particular, the difficulty of obtaining Federal funding for foundational or exploratory research. Often, researchers must obtain their initial funding through non-Federal sources, so that they can demonstrate proof of concept, which can be a pre-condition of obtaining Federal funds. The funding directory that is developed through this study will provide cancer CAM researchers with a resource that they can use to identify non-Federal funding sources, and target the funding sources that are most closely aligned with their research objectives. Frequency of Response: Semiannual. Affected Public: Nonprofit organizations; Businesses or other for-profit organizations; Type of Respondents: Organizations (other than Federal Government) that offer funding for cancer CAM research and have an open grant application process. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 200; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2 per year; Average Burden Hours Per Response: .25; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 100. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $2000 (assumes $20 hourly rate x 100 hours). There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.","action":null,"agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"National Institutes of Health","name":"National Institutes of Health","id":353,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-institutes-of-health","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/353","parent_id":221,"slug":"national-institutes-of-health"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/01/20/E6-591.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"71 FR 3311","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of this publication.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E6-591","effective_on":null,"end_page":3312,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2006/01/20/E6-591.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/01/20/E6-591/proposed-collection-comment-request-survey-of-non-federal-funding-sources-for-cancer-cam-research","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E6-591?publication_date=2006-01-20","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2006-01-20/E6-591/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":3,"last_updated":"2026-06-22 20:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-01-20/pdf/E6-591.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2006-01-20","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2006/01/20/E6-591.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T18:02:11Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":3311,"subtype":null,"title":"Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Survey of Non-Federal Funding Sources for Cancer CAM Research","toc_doc":"Agency information collection activities; proposals, submissions, and approvals","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":71}
