take 5 minutes to complete for a total
expected burden of 17 hours. The 30
participating agencies will then recruit
EMS clinicians currently working fulltime or part-time using a recruitment
flyer distributed to employees. The
research team expects to collect
information from as many as 3,000
individuals to identify up to 1,500
eligible participants. The team will
measure eligibility using an individuallevel screening form, which is estimated
to take 5 minutes to complete for a total
expected burden of 250 hours.
The research team will have the 1,500
eligible individuals watch a video
explaining the study and the consent
process and will then ask them to
indicate their consent to participate.
The consenting process is expected to
take 10 minutes for a total expected
burden of 250 hours. The research team
expects 1,200 eligible individuals to
consent and agree to participate. These
individuals will then complete the
registration process including providing
demographic information and shift
schedules, complete a baseline survey
including self-reported fatigue and
sleepiness. Half of the participants will
be asked to complete ten training
sessions of ten minutes each within ten
days. The other half will be asked to
complete the training within ten days of
the mid-point of the study. The
expected burden for the registration
process, baseline survey and training
intervention is 145 minutes per
participant for a total burden of 2,900
hours. Once the study is underway,
participants will be asked to respond to
daily text messages about sleepiness and
fatigue for eight weeks of the 24-week
study. The expected burden of
responding is 5 minutes per response
for a total burden of 5,600. The research
team also will ask participants to
complete follow-up surveys at the study
mid-point and at the end of the study.
The expect burden of responding is 25
minutes per survey for a total burden of
1,000 hours.
A subset of participants (30 of the
1,200) will complete a daily sleep diary
for eight weeks of the 24-week study.
Completing the diary is expected to take
3 minutes per day for a total burden of
84 hours. This subset also will be asked
to take a brief Psychomotor Vigilance
Task test twice per day (at the start and
at the end of shift) for a total of eight
days spread across the study period.
Completing each test is expected to take

reviewed for scientific and technical merit, mission relevance, and the
protection of human and animal subjects. Recommendations regarding
funding are submitted to the Chief Research and Development Officer.
Each subcommittee meeting of the Board will be open to the public
the first day for approximately one half-hour from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30
a.m. at the start of the meeting on August 21 (HSR 0, 1, 4), August 22

projects). As provided by subsection 10(d) of Public Law 92-463, as
amended by Public Law 94-409, closing the meeting is in accordance with
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
