Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (NICHD)

(OMB#: 0925-0648 Exp., Date: 05/2021)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: 2020 BPCA Post Stakeholders Meeting Assessment

PURPOSE:

The 2020 BPCA Stakeholders Meeting will be held virtually on December 14-15, 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The purpose of this meeting is (1) to provide updates on the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) Clinical Program at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and (2) to spearhead the development of a roadmap for identifying needs, prioritizing those needs, and for closing knowledge gaps in pediatric therapeutics that is applicable to a variety of stakeholders involved in pediatric drug development.

NICHD would like to collect feedback from participants on the virtual format, meeting content, speaker selection, breakout rooms, and roundtable discussion. Feedback will be collected using Survey Monkey. Participant feedback is used to determine which speakers were effective in meeting the goals of their presentations, to determine what content areas are of most interest to participants for future meetings, the relevance and quality of topics presented, and attendee interest in participating in future BPCA activities. Feedback is shared within OPPTB but not with the public.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

The feedback questionnaire will be sent to all meeting participants which include BPCA stakeholders from FDA, NIH, industry, and academic institutions. Participants are primarily senior level pediatric specialists involved with clinical trials for pediatric therapeutics, drug development, and regulatory affairs. We estimate approximately 150 participants will attend.
