1. Organizing an Institutional

Investigation Assistance Program: A

Feasibility Study—NEW—A review

group charged with examining the

Office of Research Integrity’s (ORI) role

in handling allegations of research

misconduct developed numerous

recommendations. One of the

recommendations stated that ‘‘HHS

should encourage the development of a

consortium-based approach to be used

by awardee institutions that do not have

the capacity to conduct the fact-finding

process, or at which there is otherwise

inadequate institutional or

organizational capacity.’’ The Office of

Research Integrity is proposing a survey

of research institutions, educational

institutions, and related organizations to

assess the level of interest in the

development of consortia.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit; Non-profit institutions; State or

local governments; Number of

Respondents: 1,000; Burden per

Response: 20 minutes; Total Burden:

333 hours. OMB Desk Officer: Allison

Herron Eydt.

Copies of the information collection

packages listed above can be obtained

Officer on (202) 690–6207. Written

comments and recommendations for the

proposed information collection should

be sent directly to the OMB desk officer

Proposed Project: Cognitive Tuning

for Website Promotion—NEW—National

Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC). The

mission of the National Institute for

Occupational Safety and Health is to

promote ‘‘safety and health at work for

all people through research and

prevention.’’ NIOSH is guided by the

National Occupational Research Agenda

(NORA), which specifies 21 priority

areas for occupational safety and health

research. One of the NORA priority

areas is intervention effectiveness,

which includes ‘‘information

dissemination and health

communication practices.’’ This project,

in testing the effectiveness of a cognitive

tuning instruction in increasing visits to

a NIOSH website for children and

teenagers, would address the

intervention effectiveness priority area.

Cognitive tuning refers to two

possible orientations a person may have

when exposed to information. One

orientation is that of a receiver, who is

primarily concerned with

understanding the information for its

own sake. The other orientation is that

of a transmitter, who expects to pass on

the information by communicating with

others. Unlike the receiver, the

transmitter is faced with the demand of

using the information in the near future

and is likely to be motivated to appear

competent and knowledgeable in front

of other people when passing on the

information. Past research has shown

that transmitters, compared to receivers,

show more attitude change when given

information about issues or persons.

Also, the attitude change for

transmitters tends to be more persistent

than for receivers.

The Elaboration Likelihood Model

(ELM) is a theory of attitude change that

has achieved much empirical support

and has organized a large body of

previously fragmented results. The ELM

posits that the nature of attitude change

depends on whether the person is

thinking carefully about the issue at

hand. A person thinking about an issue

is likely to form an attitude that is

persistent, resistant to attack, and

predictive of behavior. Conversely, a

person who lacks either the motivation

or the ability to think carefully about an

issue is likely to form an attitude that is

transitory, easy to change, and

unpredictive of behavior.
