Abstract: The OCVMRC uses MRC unit data in reports and presentations, and analyzes the data to assess the maturation of the program, confirm that MRC units are carrying out activities in support of the Surgeon General priorities, and to best tailor the technical assistance provided to MRC units. In addition, the data serves as an important recruitment tool for the individual MRC units. Often, before committing to volunteer with an MRC unit, potential volunteers go to the MRC website (www.medicalreservecorps.gov) to review the local MRC profile, which includes its name and point of contact, the most recent MRC unit activities, the community served, the date established, a narrative profile, and an up-to-date count of its volunteers.

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: The overall burden has increased due to the increased number of approved MRC units from 803 in 2012 to 1,000 in 2015. In addition, there has been a program change that the data collection has been broken down into four specific collection tools. Each unit is now being asked to input a smaller amount of data on a quarterly basis that eliminates duplication and increases usability for the respondents.
