The third level of evaluation is mandatory for Phase II grantees and contractors; they are required to participate in usability testing at NCI's User-Centered Informatics Resource Lab (UCIRL). The NCI testing does not address content validity or replace basic usability testing conducted by the awardee during the Phase II. Rather, it focuses on the final format and process of accessing and using information.
All Phase I grantees and contractors should review the following NCI Evaluation Guidelines that describe the activities and the budget to include in the Phase II application. The Guidelines were developed to help ensure that products work for their intended users and to enhance marketability.
