HRSA OFAM Grantee Customer
Satisfaction Survey. OMB No. 0915–
xxxx—NEW.
Abstract: The Office of Federal
Assistance Management (OFAM) within
HRSA plans to survey HRSA grant
recipients to better understand their
opinions about HRSA’s grants processes
and to improve the way HRSA conducts
business with them. This survey will
focus on grantee customer satisfaction
areas related to the grants life cycle,
grantee relationships with HRSA staff
(e.g., Project Officers, Grants
Management Officers), technical
assistance received from HRSA bureaus
and offices, availability of grant
resources, and grantee access to
guidance and instructional documents,
etc. The seven (7) grants management
areas, which are directly related to the
grants life cycle, are: Customer Service/
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Cooperation; Policies and Procedures;
Pre-Award Phase; Award Phase;
Reporting/Post-Award Administration;
Technical Assistance; and Priorities for
Improvement. The ability to receive this
information from external customers
will provide OFAM with a repository of
information which will be incorporated
into the OFAM’s strategic efforts to
improve grants management services
and customer service overall.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The HRSA OFAM Grantee
Customer Satisfaction Survey will
provide meaningful and relevant results
to agency decision makers about various
customer satisfaction domains (e.g.,
efficiency, timeliness, usefulness,
responsiveness, quality and overall
satisfaction with HRSA project officers,
products, and services). The information
collected will assist HRSA in its efforts
to gauge, understand and effectively
respond to the needs and concerns of its
customers, especially as they relate to
the aforementioned areas. The survey
results will provide HRSA with concrete
indicators regarding the best areas in
which to dedicate time, energy, and
resources to improve customer service.
This information will be used to support
agency-wide continuous quality
improvement (CQI) efforts. It will also

efficiency, quality, and timeliness of its
grants business processes, as well as to
strengthen its partnership with its
external customers.
Likely Respondents: HRSA Grantees,
specifically individuals who hold
positions as a grantee’s Grant
Administrator, Business Officer, or
Project Director/Principal Investigators,
etc.
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
