Sheet 1: Cost Workbook Instructions

Cost Workbook Instructions and Collection Forms
The Evaluation of Programs Supporting the Mental Health of the Health Professions Workforce Cost-Benefit Assessment being conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago aims to understand the costs and potential benefits of the Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Training Program (HPSWRTP) and the Promoting Resilience and Mental Health among Health Professional Workforce (PRMHW) program. Our ability to measure the impact of your program depends on the clarity of the information that you provide. HRSA is invested in learning about costs and potential benefits of your organization’s activities to help inform future funding opportunities. Instructions: To streamline this process, NORC has reviewed your available grant application, progress and performance reports, and budget forms and pre-filled each sheet of the cost workbook with the information that your team provided in the project application, non-competing Continuation (NCC) reports, annual performance reports (APR), and other budget related forms or reports provided to HRSA. Please review this information and adjust as necessary to ensure complete and accurate cost reporting. The cost workbook is broken down into the following sections. A separate cost workbook file will be provided to you for each project year. Section A – Project Year. Identifies the project year corresponding to the activities reported in the workbook. Each cost workbook will encompass the costs associated with one year of grantee project activities. Section B – Personnel. Captures name, role, and labor expense for paid, contract, and in-kind employees supporting the grantee project. Section C – Labor Allocation. Divides the time each person spent supporting the project by activities related to intervention development, intervention delivery, recruitment, evaluation and research, and/or management and other HPSWRTP/PRMHW related activities. Section D – Contracted Services. For grantee project related services delivered by contracted organizations. Divided into broad categories related to repair and maintenance, security, advertising/marketing, or other services. Section E – Participant Information. Captures the number of participants by profession type and particular training activity, as defined by each grantee. Section F – Facility Costs. Costs the grantee project incurred to use, rent, or otherwise pay for space and facility related costs for the project reporting period. Section G – Supplies and Materials. Collects costs of materials including software, office supplies, local travel related costs, etc. Section H – Other Costs. Includes costs not captured in other categories including continuing education fees or costs, out-of-town related travel expenses, participant incentives, and/or training fees, etc. Section I – Overhead and Administrative Charges. Indirect costs and fringe benefits. Section J – Attrition and Turnover. Public Burden Statement: The purpose of this information collection is to evaluate federal programs designed to support the mental health and resiliency of the healthcare and public safety workforce. 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-XXXX and is valid until MM/DD/20XX. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average xx 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.

Sheet 3: B. Personnel

Cost Workbook Instructions and Collection Forms
Section B: Personnel
Instructions: In this sheet, please provide information about all staff and in-kind employees who worked on this [Insert program name] during [time period reported in Sheet A]. If you need to add additional rows for paid employees, contractors, or volunteers, please right-click on the row number for the last row in the table and select "Insert". Please use the following definitions: For section B1, we define a "paid employee" as an individual who receives a W-2, who works either part- or full-time for the organization and has a role in developing and/or administering the intervention. Your organization pays federal and state payroll taxes for this individual. For section B2, we define a "contracted employee" as an individual who receives a 1099, who works either part- or full-time for the organization and has a role in developing and/or administering the intervention. Please include only contracts with people. Contracts for services are covered in Sheet D. For section B3, we define an "in-kind employee" as an individual who is either a volunteer or an employee, who conducts activities on behalf of the intervention, but is not being paid through the grant.
Section B1.
For each paid employee that participated in the project, please review their total annual labor expense (including fringe benefits and payroll taxes) during the time period reported in Sheet A [insert reporting time period]. Please also review and adjust the number of months of the year that person was assigned to the [insert awardee project name]. For example: • A person who worked part- or full-time on the [insert awardee project name] for the entire year would have worked 12 months on the [insert awardee project name]. • A person who joined the organization in July and worked on the [insert awardee project name] through December would have worked on the [insert awardee project name] for six months. • A person who pitched in on the [insert awardee project name] for July through August while someone else was out on maternity leave would have worked two months on the [insert awardee project name], even if they worked for the organization the entire year. • A person who is a listed employee on the [insert awardee project name] but did not perform any work for the project would have worked zero months on the [insert awardee project name], even if they worked for the organization the entire year.
