Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB#: 0925-0648 Exp., date: 06/30/2024)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Principles of Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Course – Webinar Feedback Satisfaction Questionnaire (NICHD)

PURPOSE:

NICHD conducts weekly virtual webinars for its T32 Pediatric Pharmacology Training Program. This course repeats annually. The webinars focus on therapeutic progress and challenges in pediatric medical research and care, particularly in the areas of the safe and effective use of interventions in this population. NICHD would like to collect feedback from participants for each of the webinars in the 30-webinar course, Principles of Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Feedback will be collected through the Cvent event management system. The lecture series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of pediatric clinical pharmacology students who lack a formal educational curriculum in this discipline as mandated under the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA). 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 lectures, and if any logistical/technical issues need to be addressed. Feedback is shared with speakers upon request but not the public.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

The feedback questionnaire is sent to all registrants for each weekly webinar in the Principles of Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology Lecture Series. Participants are T32 trainees, researchers, public health officials and others with an interest in pediatric clinical pharmacology. The 2020-21 course had 417 unique participants, who attended as few as one and as many as 28 (of 28) webinars. Participants attended an average of 5 webinars each. Similar participation is expected for the 2021-22 course which will have 30 lectures.
