fast track for 2022 T32 Meeting Feedback

Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB#: 0925-0648 Exp., date: 06/30/2024)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: 11^th Annual Meeting of T32 Trainees Post-Meeting Feedback (NICHD)

PURPOSE:

The Eleventh Annual Meeting of T32 Trainees will be held virtually on September 19-20, 2022. NICHD would like to collect feedback from participants on the virtual format, meeting content, speaker selection, and breakout rooms. Feedback will be collected through Survey Monkey. Participant feedback is used to determine which speakers were effective in meeting the goals of their presentations, to determine what content areas are of most interest to participants for future meetings, the relevance and quality of topics presented for the T32 trainees, and if any logistical/technical issues need to be addressed. Feedback is shared with the meeting planning committee but not the public.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

The feedback questionnaire will be sent to all meeting participants which include fellows, fellowship program directors, FDA staff, NIH staff, and other meeting participants. We estimate approximately 100 participants will attend.
