 DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of this publication.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or request more information on the proposed project, contact: Dr. Elizabeth Barr, 6707 Democracy Blvd., Suite 438, Bethesda, Maryland, 20817 or call non-toll-free number (301) 402-7895 or email your request to 
                        *ORWHcourses@od.nih.gov.*
                         Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires: written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected agencies are invited to address one or more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. *Proposed Collection Title:*
                     Bench to Bedside: Integrating Sex and Gender to Improve Human Health & Sex as a Biological Variable: A Primer [Extension], 0925-0768, expiration date 
                    ( print page 69644)
                    11/30/2023, Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH), Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH). *Need and Use of Information Collection:*
                     Bench to Bedside: Integrating Sex and Gender to Improve Human Health” is an online course developed by ORWH, the Food and Drug Administration, Office of Women's Health, and other non-Federal subject matter experts. “Sex as a Biological Variable: A Primer” is an online course developed by ORWH, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, and other non-Federal subject matter experts. Together, these two courses will provide learners a rationale for the study of biological differences between the sexes, the impact of sex and gender differences on illness, guidance on incorporating NIH policy on sex as a biological variable into studies, and an exploration of sex- and gender-related differences in key disease areas. The Bench to Bedside course offers free continuing medical education credits. In conjunction with these two courses, ORWH will collect information through registration information and surveys (knowledge checks, attitude assessments, and course evaluations). The information collected will be used in the following ways: 1. To assess uptake and learning of concepts in each lesson; 2. To identify demographic trends across learners in order to inform targeted outreach; 3. To assess the effectiveness of course materials; and 4. To identify areas of focus for future course improvement, modifications, and expansion. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 970. Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
