Corps Community Month 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
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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. 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 five
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
of outreach initiatives. Event
information is captured and tracked to
ensure that each HHS region is
highlighted.
Likely Respondents: Current program
participants, alumni, NHSC
Ambassadors, sites, primary care
organizations, and professional
associations
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
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
