SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Primary Care Faculty 
Development Initiative.
    OMB No. 0915-xxxx--New.
    Abstract: HRSA's Bureau of Health Professions, Division of Medicine 
and Dentistry, has contracted with Oregon Health and Science University 
(OHSU), contract HHSH250201200023C, to conduct the planning, execution, 
and evaluation of a nationally based, longitudinal Primary Care Faculty 
Development Initiative (PCFDI) demonstration project. OHSU has 
developed web-based survey instruments which will be used to evaluate 
the effectiveness of the planned curriculum and its implementation and 
to make recommendations to improve teaching and competency assessment 
in primary care educational activities. The two web-based surveys are 
Irvine's Leadership Behavior Survey and the Faculty Skill & Program 
Feasibility Survey. The objectives of the survey instruments are to 
assess the feasibility and acceptability of an inter-disciplinary 
faculty development pilot program targeting primary care physicians, to 
measure the leadership skills of PCFDI faculty participants, and to 
assess the initial impact of faculty receiving training from an inter-
disciplinary faculty development pilot program on their perception of 
skill development in the core content areas of leadership, change 
management, teamwork, panel or population management, competency 
assessment, and clinical microsystems.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
