AttachnH'nt A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM o States or urban areas shall coordinate their efforts with the closest MMRS jurisdiction. o Trainees shall have completed a basic Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification per the state or local accreditation requirements. This type of training may not be funded with ODP monies. o If a foundational medical trauma course fully addresses the emergency medical services sections included in the ODP Emergency Responder Guidelines and the ODP Homeland Security Guidelines for Prevention and Deterrence, no additional CBRNE-specific training is necessary for eligibility purposes. However, if the foundational medical trauma course does not fully address the emergency medical services sections included in the ODP Emergency Responder Guidelines and the ODP Homeland Security Guidelines for Prevention and Deterrence, then the student must also complete follow-on CBRNE awareness training within a reasonable timeframe in order for the foundational medical trauma course to be considered an allowable use of ODP funds. Evaluation of ODP Training Courses. The goal of evaluating ODP training courses is to determine how much a participant's knowledge, skills, and abilities change after completion of a course relative to knowledge, skills, and abilities prior to the class. ODP utilizes a self-assessment methodology and collects information via a standardized evaluation form. The form is designed to gather data about the course and participant, including data such as the participant's professional discipline and years of service. Additionally, the evaluation measures the participant's knowledge relative to a set of standardized learning objectives both before and after taking the course. If a state or local jurisdiction uses ODP funds to provide ODP-approved courses, the state or local jurisdiction must use the standard evaluation form to collect data about the course and its participants. An ODP-approved course is defined as one developed by the state or local jurisdiction and approved by ODP for delivery. If the state or local jurisdiction receives training through its ODP course allocation, the training partner delivering the course is responsible for data collection and entry. Similarly, if the state or local jurisdiction enters into a direct contract with one of the ODP training partners, training partner is still responsible for the data collection and entry function. However, if the ODP-sponsored course is delivered by a state or local organization, the course provider is responsible for collecting data on the course and its participants. As part of the course approval process, the course developer establishes a set of course objectives directly tied to the course content. The objectives are incorporated into the standardized course evaluation form. Course participants are required to complete all fields and the course instructor is responsible for ensuring that all forms are complete. Course providers are granted access to and enter data into the ODP Secure Portal. Costs related to developing and administering the self-assessment and collecting information via a standardized evaluation form is allowable.
