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 review and

listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on March 17, 2015,
Vol. 80, Page 13845 and allowed 60days for public comment. No public
comments were received. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment. The
National Human Genome Research
Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of
Health, may not conduct or sponsor,
and the respondent is not required to
respond to, an information collection
that has been extended, revised, or
implemented on or after October 1,

Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose of the proposed

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.
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
