 (OMB Control Number: 0970-0617)
TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Children’s Bureau’s National Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement, Non-Public Event Registration 

PURPOSE: The National Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement (NCWCIA) is a national data-driven assistance provider and a service of the Children’s Bureau (CB). NCWCIA plans to host multiple nonpublic gatherings, predominantly meetings and webinars, that will require prior registration for our Peer Innovation and Insight Networking Groups (PIING) and Universal Information and Insight Resources (UIIR). 

The Non-Public Event Registration form will be tailored to each nonpublic gathering to include the name, date, and description of the gathering. Individuals will receive an email with a link to the registration form four weeks before the event based on their prior requests to be subscribed to an NCWCIA service or request to become a member of a PIING. Data collected through this form will be used to plan for the gathering and ensure interested individuals receive the appropriate resources, including any pre- or post-resources and the link to join the gathering.

This is a request for approval by the Office Management and Budget (OMB), under the Federal Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for data collection activities authorized under the Administration for Children and Families’ generic OMB clearance # 0970-0617. Information collection activities include gatherings, such as nonpublic meetings and webinars.
