Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 0970-0401)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Grantee Topical Trainings Feedback Survey

PURPOSE: The Family and Youth Services Bureau’s (FYSB) Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) grantees (Title V State, Title V Competitive, and GD-SRAE) are required to participate in up to two topical trainings annually to build their skills and capacity to deliver SRAE programming to youth. The purpose of the proposed survey is to collect grantee input on these SRAE topical trainings which will be conducted in winter 2023 and spring 2024. The survey is necessary to capture perspectives and experiences with the trainings. The information collected will enable us to improve the quality of trainings and will inform the development of future trainings and technical assistance opportunities, including topical trainings.
