Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: 2018 Science Ambassador Fellowship Exit Satisfaction Survey


PURPOSE:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks to obtain Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to collect feedback for the 2017 CDC Science Ambassador Fellowship. The Science Ambassador Fellowship is held annually for the purpose of (1) providing a training experience for middle school and high school teachers to link teachers with CDC subject matter experts to develop effective public health-related lesson plans that meet National Science Education Standards, and (2) increasing the number of teachers who integrate public health and epidemiology concepts into their science education curricula and, additionally, share these resources with their communities. The goals of this survey are to improve Fellowship experiences and ensure the Fellowship is meeting its goals and participant needs. This information collection will be used by Science Ambassador Fellowship planners to refine the Fellowship and to improve logistics, communication, and quality of future sessions.



DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

Respondents to the 2017 Science Ambassador Fellowship Exit Satisfaction Survey (Attachment 1, Survey Word document and Attachment 2, Survey Screenshots) will be the 2017 Science Ambassador Fellows. Science Ambassador Fellows include middle school and high school teachers from school districts across the United States. No personally identifiable information (PII) will be collected; should any respondents provide PII, it will not be retained.

BURDEN HOURS

The feedback survey will be web-based and include (at most) 15 questions. Respondents will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the survey through Survey Monkey. This estimate is based on piloting the survey with five CDC Staff. For the 2017 Science Ambassador Fellowship, we are seeking approval to collect feedback from 30 non-federal individuals (i.e., middle school, high school, and community college teachers). Given 30 respondents with a response time of 10 minutes each, the total response burden will be 5 hours. There will be no direct costs to the respondents other than their time to respond to the survey.

The 2017 fellows will be invited to participate in the Science Ambassador Fellowship Exit Satisfaction Survey. After the Science Ambassador Fellowship has concluded, an invitation email (Attachment 3, Invitation Email) with a link to the survey will be sent to all 2017 Science Ambassador Fellows who provided an email address. Respondents will be given 2 weeks to respond to the survey. Respondents will have to complete the survey in one sitting as the survey tool does not allow respondents to return to edit or complete the survey. The survey does not track individual responses. A reminder email (Attachment 4, Reminder Email) will be sent twice: one email at the beginning of week 2 and the second email on the day the survey closes.
