proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the

L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)

Proposed Project: Workforce
Recruitment in Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)—
Funded Health Centers (OMB No. 0915–
0353)—[Extension]
This semi-annual survey is designed
to collect information from HRSAfunded health centers regarding their
current workforce and recent hiring
efforts. The purpose of this data
collection instrument is to provide data
on baseline and hiring uptake data of
health center workforce recruitment,
and recommendations on whether
additional training or technical
assistance might be needed to support
health centers in their hiring efforts. As

authorized by statute, HRSA provides
technical assistance to health centers to
assist them in meeting the Health Center
Program requirements and in providing
required primary health services that are
dependent on a high quality and
effective workforce.
Ensuring that the primary care
workforce is able to meet the demands
of increasing patient volume is critical
to the future success of health centers in
serving the nation’s underserved and
vulnerable populations. As health
centers seek to fill open positions, one
growing pool of qualified candidates
increasingly being recruited is returning
veterans, many of which have trained as
health care providers and/or
administrators during their time in the
service. The information collected in
this survey will help assess how health
centers have filled vacancies, whether
the availability of veterans to join the
health center workforce is impacting
their hiring efforts, and what additional
efforts might improve health center
recruitment.
