Submission for Proposed Collection
Comment Request: The Effectiveness
of the NIH Curriculum Supplements
Programs
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 Programs Survey.
Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The survey will attempt to
assess customer demographics and their
satisfaction with the NIH curriculum
supplements in presenting science in a
more engaging and interactive way. The
supplements help K–12 educators teach
science by featuring the latest NIH
research and utilized research-based
instructional methods. 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 6,000 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 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.
