The NIEHS WTP collects information in the Curricula Information and Data Management System (DMS), which is a web-based application designed to store and track projected and actual training, student demographic data, and progress report material. WTP grantees have access to the DMS via the iTrust system – either using a Federated Login or a Google or Microsoft account login. The DMS is restricted to authorized users/grantees.  After grantees successfully log in via iTrust their login information is compared to the list of authorized users stored in the database. Only those users stored in the DMS database are allowed access to the system. Grantee users only have access to the data for their grantee organization.  WTP staff and selected contract staff have access to all grantee entered data.

DMS information options:

• Awardee Information: This is the home page of the application. This page loads when a user has successfully logged into the application. This page contains up-to-date information about deadlines, system maintenance and any other application changes or enhancements. It is important that this page be read each time someone logs onto the application.

• Curricula Catalog: Provides access to training curricula produced by organizations funded by the WTP. This option includes uploading and editing course curricula and materials and adding and editing curricula data coordinator information. The information in the Curricula Catalog is accessed by the public on the National Clearinghouse for Worker Safety and Health Training webpage.

• Data Entry: This option allows a user to enter, edit, or change the status of course and or

student demographic data records.

• Progress Reports: This option allows a user to upload progress reports and/or appendices,

or view archived progress reports submitted for an awardee organization.

• Reports: This option allows a user to query course and student demographic data stored in the WTP application and output reports in an Excel spreadsheet or HTML table.

• Admin Functions: This option is only available to User Administrators. The Mark

Data Complete function allows the point of contact in the awardee organization to certify that all data and or progress report entry in a given period is complete.
