SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Evaluation of the DoD SPARX 
Knowledge Training Program; OMB Control Number 0704-ESKP.
    Needs and Uses: In a memo dated 26 February 2021, the Secretary of 
Defense required the Military Departments to ensure that at least half 
of their identified violence prevention workforce receives initial 
training by 31 December 2021, with the entire workforce trained by 30 
June 2022. To meet this need, the Office of Force Resiliency's Violence 
Prevention Cell has developed an integrated violence prevention 
curriculum, titled DoD SPARX Knowledge, to establish a common base of 
knowledge within the prevention workforce. The purpose of this 
information collection is to evaluate the effectiveness of the DoD 
SPARX Knowledge training program and make improvements to the program, 
as needed. The curriculum is appropriate for Service Members and DoD 
civilians serving in violence prevention roles and is broken into 
modules that align with the prevention process of the Prevention Plan 
of Action and the data-informed actions of the Integrated Prevention 
Policy. The overarching goal of the DoD SPARX Knowledge training is to 
equip the prevention workforce with the appropriate knowledge, skills, 
and resources to select, implement, and evaluate research-based 
prevention activities.
