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. This data collection has been authorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) and its regulations printed in the Federal Register Volume 71 No. 107 June 5, 2006, as well as reporting requirements under 34 CFR 75.110.

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

  • Verify scholar employment within 30 days of the annual notification e-mail from PDPDCS.

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.
