Rules of Behavior for U.S. Department of Education-Sponsored Website
The Personnel Development Program Data Collection System (PDPDCS) is an online data collection system designed to facilitate administration of the program by the Office of Special Education Programs at the U.S. Department of Education. This system collects employment and contact information from participating scholars to verify the fulfillment of their service obligation and support program performance and improvement. Verifying service obligation requires collecting personally identifying information from Institutions of Higher Education, scholars, and employers.

Users of the PDPDCS must agree to certain conditions and agree to act to insure the accuracy and confidentiality of the information stored by the PDPDCS.
Employers using this system agree to:
Maintain the confidentiality of requested employment information about scholars;
Maintain control of secure links by adhering to workplace security safeguards; and

□ I agree to the terms.

Welcome
to the Personnel Development Program Data Collection System (PDPDCS).
The scholar listed below accepted a scholarship from a grant awarded
to an Institution of Higher Education (IHE) by the U.S. Department of
Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). These
scholarships include a service obligation requirement of two (2)
years of eligible employment for each year of IHE support. Scholars
are required to provide PDPDCS with annual updates about their
employment in order for PDPDCS to track the fulfillment of their
service obligation. For scholars to receive service obligation
credit, their employment must be verified by an employer. Additional
information about DCS and the service obligation is available on the
PDPDCS Web site at https://pdp.ed.gov/OSEP.
Please take a
moment to verify the accuracy or to correct any inaccuracies of the
information provided by the scholar. We anticipate that the survey
will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Your session will
timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity and the information entered
will not be saved.
Do NOT use your internet browser's back

PLEASE NOTE:
We understand that scholars may have begun employment prior to the date listed here. However, according to program regulations, scholars may begin work in eligible employment following the completion of one academic year of training. Therefore, the PDPDCS only allows for dates of an employment position after the completion of one academic year of training.

Please verify that the scholar was employed during the dates listed above.
