The NIDA Junior Scientist Program and the Companion Program, Brain Power! Challenge SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for the opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 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: Brain Power! The NIDA Junior Scientist Program, for grades K–5, and the companion program for Middle School, the Brain Power! Challenge. Type of Information Collection Request: This information collection request is for an EXTENSION of 0925–0542 that was obtained in 2005, and is requested for two additional years to meet scheduling availability for participating school districts. Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request to evaluate the effectiveness of the Brain Power! Program’s ability to (1) increase children’s knowledge about the biology of the brain and the neurobiology of drug addiction, (2) increase positive attitudes toward science, careers in science, science as an enjoyable endeavor, and the use of animals in research; and stimulate interest in scientific careers; and (3) engender more realistic perceptions of scientists as being from many races, ages, and genders. The secondary goals of the evaluation are to determine the Program’s impact on attitudes and intentions toward drug use. The findings will provide valuable information concerning the goals of NIDA’s Science Education Program of increasing scientific literacy and stimulating interest in scientific careers. In order to test the effectiveness of the evaluation, information will be collected from students before and after exposure to the curriculum with preand post-test self-report measures. Surveys will also be administered to teachers after the completion of the program to examine ease and fidelity of implementation, as well as impact in knowledge and understanding of the neurobiology of addiction. Surveys will be administered to parents to obtain parental reaction and opinion on the materials and the degree to which parents find the curriculum informative and appropriate.
