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.
