Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose of this study is
to systematically assess the extent to
which NCI’s Activities to Promote

program has been successful in
accomplishing its intended goals of (1)
capacity building and (2) generating
innovative advances. The innovative
advances outcome analysis will answer
the question of whether APRC projects
resulted in promising, novel concepts
and advances in cancer research. The
capacity building outcome analysis will
determine whether participation in the
APRC program has enabled the program
participants to successfully integrate
interdisciplinary approaches in their
scientific investigations and enhanced
their ability to pursue other
collaborative research activities. The
study will involve interviewing former
APRC-funded researchers. The
evaluation results will provide DCB
with the information to make quality
improvements to the APRC program and
enhance program performance in
generating significant outcomes. It will
also strengthen our understanding of the
value of collaborative and
interdisciplinary research and inform
NCI’s approach to supporting and
encouraging scientific collaboration
among researchers from multiple
disciplines in the future.
