Proposed Project
Application for Training--Revision--Office of Workforce and Career
Development (OWCD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its
Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD) and other Centers,
Institutes, and Offices offers training activities on public health
topics to professionals worldwide. Employees of hospitals,
universities, medical centers, laboratories, state and federal
agencies, and state and local health departments apply for training in
an effort to learn up-to-date public health practices. CDC's training
activities include laboratory training, classroom study, online
training, and distance learning activities. The ``National Laboratory
Training Network Registration Form'' (paper and electronic forms) and
the ``CDC Training and Continuing Education New Participant
Registration Form'' (electronic form) are official application forms
used for training activities conducted by CDC. CDC form 32.1,
``National Laboratory Training Network Registration Form'', is used for
all laboratory field training. The ``CDC Training and Continuing
Education New Participant Registration Form'' is completed by health
practitioners seeking to register for training available through the
CDC's online registration system. CDC was granted OMB approval to use
these forms through December 31, 2006, and is now requesting OMB
approval for an additional three years.
These forms in various versions have been used by CDC to collect
data for the past 16 years. The information requested on the forms is
used to grant public health professionals the continuing education
credits they need to maintain their licenses and certification required
by their professions. This information is also needed to create a
transcript or summary of training completed at the participant's
request. In addition, the forms are also needed to generate management
reports and to maintain training statistics. These reports assist CDC
in the management of its training programs, such as, identifying
training needs, designing courses, selecting locations for courses,
evaluating programs, and conducting impact analysis.
There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is 3332 hours.
