This survey is designed to collect exit/completion data from grantees that have been awarded funds for the Rural Public Health Workforce Training Network
Program (RPHWTNP) through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The following questions will ask information about completed
program activities. Data should be collected after grantees have completed programs, after the period of performance ends. Should you have any questions
regarding this survey, please direct your questions to your HRSA Project Officer.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control number for this information collection is 0915/0906-XXXX and it is valid until XX/XX/202X. This information collection is required
to obtain or retain a benefit (42 U.S.C. § 254c(f) (§ 330A(f) of the Public Health Service Act); Section 2501 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 1172) via the following funding opportunity: HRSA-22-117). Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.25 hours per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to HRSA
Reports Clearance Officer, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 14N136B, Rockville, Maryland, 20857 or paperwork@hrsa.gov.

Attachment 4: RPHWTNP Grantee Exit Survey

General Text

The following questions will ask about information relating to the trainings that are provided through the Rural Public Health Workforce
Training Network program. Training is defined as competency-based high-quality education, training, and other services, that:
a.) aligns with the skill needs of the workforce training tracks identified in the Rural Public Health Workforce Training Network Program
(RPHWTNP);
b.) prepares an individual (trainee) to be successful in any of a full range of secondary or postsecondary education options, including
apprenticeships;
c.) includes, as appropriate, education offered concurrently with and in the same context as workforce preparation activities and training for a
specific occupation or occupational cluster;
d.) organizes education, training, and other services that are culturally and linguistically competent to meet the particular needs of an
individual (trainee) in a manner that accelerates the educational and career advancement of the individual (trainee) to the extent practicable;
e.) helps an individual (trainee) enter or advance within a specific occupation or occupational cluster as listed in the
RPHWTNP.
For the purposes of
this survey, a “training” refers to a type of content-based training, and not a unit of training or modality of training. For example, if a
consortium is providing a motivational interviewing training on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Thursday’s, this is considered as one training. If a
consortium is providing a motivational interviewing training in person on Monday, virtually on Wednesday, and in person on Friday, this is still
considered as one training.
