Submission for Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; The Effectiveness
of the NIH Curriculum Supplements
and Workshops Survey
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Office of Science Education, 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: The
Effectiveness of the NIH Curriculum
Supplements and Workshops Survey.

effectiveness of the NIH curriculum
supplements in aiding teachers to teach
science in a more engaging and
interactive way. The supplements help
k–12 educators teach science in more
engaging and effective ways by featuring
the latest NIH research. A typical
supplement contains two weeks of
student activities on the science behind
a health topic, such as cancer, sleep or
obesity. Web-based simulations,
animations and experiments enhance
the ‘‘pencil and paper’’ activities. In
addition to developing and distributing
the supplements, OSE conducts
professional workshops to help teachers
successfully implement these lessons
with their students. Since January 2000,
over 3,000 teachers have attended an
OSE workshop.
Assessing the effectiveness of the NIH
Curriculum Supplements and teacher
workshops is critical to determining if
OSE is successfully fulfilling its
mission. OSE has the database
infrastructure in place to easily collect
customer satisfaction data from
supplement requesters and workshop
attendees. At present, we do not have
clearance to contact our customers to
determine how NIH resources are
meeting their educational needs.
