Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Brain Power! 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. Frequency of 

Response: On occasion. Affected Public: 

Elementary and middle school students, 

teachers, and parents. Type of 

Respondents: Students, Teachers, and 

Parents. The reporting burden is as 

follows: Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 1,337; Estimated Number 

of Responses per Respondent: 2; 

Average Burden Hours Per Response: 

.25; Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours Requested: 640.5. There are no 

Capital Costs to report. There are no 

Operating or Maintenance Costs to 

report. The estimated annualized 

burden is summarized below.

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies are invited 

on one or more of the following points: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the function of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
