Information Collection Request Title:
Corps Community Event Form.
OMB No.: 0915–0362 Extension.
Abstract: Corps Community Month,
formerly Corps Community Day, was
created in 2011 and celebrates the
National Health Service Corps (NHSC)
every October. The NHSC is a program
administered by the Bureau of Health
Workforce (BHW) within HRSA. The
goals of Corps Community Month
encompass the following: Increase
awareness of the NHSC to potential
applicants and the greater primary
health community; create a sense of
community and connectedness among
NHSC program participants, alumni,
partners and staff; and underscore the
NHSC’s role in bringing primary health
care services to the nation’s neediest
communities. Current program
participants, alumni, NHSC
Ambassadors, sites, primary care
organizations, and professional
associations plan events and report the
details of their events to BHW so that
they can be added to the state-by-state
map of events. In order to avoid
duplication of effort, eliminate
confusion regarding allowable event
dates, avoid data entry errors, and
implement a brief post-event
satisfaction survey, BHW would like to
continue to use the standard form that
event planners use to report to BHW.
The fillable form is available online and
has 26 fields for event planners to
populate to submit for inclusion on the
map. There are also approximately 5
fields to populate following the event to
measure satisfaction. Both the pre-event
and post-event data fields are held in
one form.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collected
is used and needed to highlight the
impact of BHW and the NHSC programs
in underserved and rural areas as part
