Completion of the survey and items within is voluntary and no incentives are offered to complete it.

  2. Description of Respondents:


Respondents include FDA employees as well as those students required to attend FDA-sponsored courses from our state, local, tribal, and territorial partners.


  1. How the Information is Collected:


Data will be collected through web-based platform (SurveyMonkey) by an FDA employee three months post-participation in one of the nine pilot courses. The survey would only be sent to students once and will be set up in SurveyMonkey to be anonymous. An invitation requesting feedback will be sent via email to students through a link to an online survey using the SurveyMonkey platform.


  1. Confidentiality of Respondents:


No personally identifiable information is requested, captured, or stored, and the survey will be set up to ensure anonymity. Only one demographic question is added which captures broad categories of position type, with an option for “prefer not to answer”. Only one FDA employee will be viewing and analyzing results, then providing aggregate summaries back to leadership and staff.

Based on an estimation of the number of participants in the same courses in FY21, we estimate approximately 400 students would be sent the survey. At an average response rate of 50%, we hope to expect ~200 respondents. The survey would be given to all students who participated in each pilot course. Data would be analyzed using SPSS and reported as an aggregate looking at things like percent favorable, items most correlated with course quality, any differences by position, and how it compares to other course satisfaction data we may have.
