Proposed Collection; Comment
Request: Effectiveness of the NIH
Curriculum Supplements Programs
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.
SUMMARY:
Proposed Collection: Title: The
Effectiveness of the NIH Curriculum
Supplements Programs Survey. Type of
Information Collection Request:
Extension of the previously approved
collection (OMB No. 0925–0551,
expiration date 06/30/2012). 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.
