Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Assessment of DAIDS
Training Resources
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), 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.
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.
To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing,
or request more information on the proposed project, contact: Jacquelyn
Burns, Office for Policy in Clinical Research Operations, DAIDS, NIAID,
6700B Rockledge Drive, Room 4118, Bethesda, MD 20852, or call non-toll-
free number 301-402-0143, or Email your request, including your address
to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional plans and
instruments must be requested in writing.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days
of the date of this publication.
Proposed Collection: Assessment of DAIDS Training Resources, 0925-
New, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a new data
collection in order to assess the efficacy of training resources and
their impact on NIAID-supported and/or sponsored research operations.
The generic OMB clearance will allow collecting information about the
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors from target audiences (e.g.,
research staff) to help improve and inform these training resources.
Information collected will be used to determine the future direction
for training resources, including which resources should be continued,
enhanced, added, or discontinued in order to utilize resources
efficiently.
Findings will provide data to inform and guide the optimal
development, dissemination, and revisions to improve NIAID trainings
and resources. Various types of data will be collected, including post-
assessment tests, questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. Post-
assessment tests will be administered at the time of the trainings to
assess trainees' immediate knowledge gained, as well as reactions and
satisfaction to the content. Select trainees will be queried at later
time points (e.g., three-months, six-months) after they have
participated in a training to understand if they have been able to
apply their knowledge at the workplace, and identify facilitators or
hindrances to implementing this new knowledge. The assessment team will
conduct repeated data collections for these select trainees to
determine any changes throughout time. In order to obtain information
beyond self-reported data, select managers and supervisors will also be
queried to assess if they have observed any changes in their staff
after attending trainings, and if the work environment is conducive for
trainees to implement knowledge from trainings.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 847.
