SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(l)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for

    Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions 
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding 
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be 
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory 
Affairs, OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202-395- 6974, 
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
    Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection 
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days 
of the date of this publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments or request more information on the 
proposed project contact: Carla L. Easter, Ph.D., Chief, Education and 
Community Involvement Branch, NHGRI, Building 31, Room B1B55, 31 Center

    Proposed Collection: Surveys to Support the National Human Genome 
Research Institute (NHGRI) Summer Workshop in Genomics (Short Course).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of the proposed 
data collection activity is to complete a full-scale outcome evaluation 
of NHGRI's Summer Workshop in Genomics (a.k.a., the ``Short Course'') 
focusing on program participants between 2004 and 2012. This training 
program is an intensive multi-day course that updates instructors and 
researchers of biology and nursing (and other related disciplines) on 
the latest research trends and topics in genomic science. The course 
focuses on the continuing effort to find the genetic basis of various 
diseases and disorders, and current topics on the ethical, legal and 
social implications of genomics.
    The Education and Community Involvement Branch (ECIB) designed the 
program to accomplish the following goals, which align with elements of 
both the NIH and NHGRI missions:
     Expand NIH and NHGRI's professional network to reach out 
to diverse communities, and to create new partnership opportunities.
     Prepare the next generation of genomics professionals for 
an era of genomic medicine.
     Train and diversify the pipeline of genome professionals 
in alignment with the NIH and US Department of Health and Human 
Services diversity efforts.
    The ECIB has collected informal course evaluations from active 
participants immediately upon course completion since inception of the 
Short Course in 2003, and then used the data to tweak the program, but 
it has not conducted a long-term, cumulative and substantive outcome 
evaluation. NHGRI and the ECIB propose to conduct such an outcome 
evaluation, focusing on three main objectives:
    (1) To understand the degree of genetic and genomic curriculum 
integration by faculty participants;
    (2) To explore the barriers and supports faculty experience and 
changes when integrating curriculum; and
    (3) To investigate the influence of the program on the 
participants' career path.
    Survey findings will provide valuable information about the various 
methods and pathways instructors use to disseminate new knowledge (and 
the associated timelines), the barriers and supports experienced by 
faculty as they integrate new knowledge into their teaching, and 
insights about additional avenues of support that NHGRI could provide 
teaching faculty from the types of institutions identified. Key 
indicators will also provide evidence about the degree to which the 
Short Course is meeting its goals. Collectively, the outcome evaluation 
will inform future program design and budget allocations.
    OMB approval is requested for 2 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 155.
