Training focuses on increasing skills and is done for individuals (even in groups) – TA is problem solving for an entity. If training was the only kind of TA you provided, this is training and not TA. If training was only one part of TA, it can be both TA and training.

14 Public Awareness Activities Insert table on bottom of 49 top of 50

15 Public Awareness: Individual Assistance Report the number of individuals to whom you provided individual assistance, by primary type of information/assistance provided. Provide a count of the number of individuals assisted, rather than the number of contacts made. If one person made three phone calls in one week, that should be counted as one person assisted, not three. If the three phone calls are for different purposes, select the primary purpose.

Then report the total amount of funds used for “integrated activities” in the integrated activities row. Funding only should be reported as integrated when the activities are truly integrated. For example, your device demonstration and device loan programs may share both staff and devices, making it difficult to know how much funds are used for each activity.
