TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

2024 Clinical Pharmacology Training Network (CPTN) Virtual Trainee/Scholar Orientation Post-Meeting Assessment (NICHD)

PURPOSE:

The 2024 CPTN Virtual Trainee/Scholar Orientation will be held on August 28, 2024. The purpose of this meeting is to (1) familiarize Fellows and Scholars with the Network’s history, current undertakings, and resources, (2) equip new Network participants with essential information, (3) foster successful integration and a sense of belonging and (4) lay the groundwork for aligning their training progress with their career development goals.

NICHD would like to collect feedback from participants on the meeting content, speaker selection, and meeting logistics. 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, and the relevance and quality of topics presented. Feedback will be shared within OPPTB but not with the public.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:

The feedback questionnaire will be sent to all meeting participants. Participants will primarily be trainees and scholars in NIH-funded fellowship programs.

If you are conducting a focus group survey or plan to employ statistical methods, please provide answers to the following questions:

The selection of your targeted respondents

1. Do you have a customer list or something similar that defines the universe of potential respondents, and do you have a sampling plan for selecting from this universe? [X] Yes [ ] No

2. If the answer is yes, please provide a description of both below and attach the sampling plan. If the answer is no, please provide a description of how you plan to identify your potential group of respondents and how you will select them.

The questionnaire will be sent to all registrants of the 2024 CPTN Virtual Trainee and Scholar Orientation. We expect approximately 50 participants to attend and approximately 20 (40%) of those to respond to the survey. Given the small group atmosphere of this meeting, and direct impact of the meeting content to the training programs of the participants, we expect response rate to be a bit higher for this session than for other meetings.
