Total fees for each participant varies by a number of factors.  Average costs range from $25 to $100, depending on the sponsoring agency, training site, travel and training fees for the CDCynergy trainer, and total number of enrolled participants.

National SOPHE charges a minimum of $250 for each training that is coordinated, which covers the cost of CD-ROMs, training materials, technical assistance, and CHES credits.  Total fees for trainings can range between $1200 and $2500 depending on travel costs and training fees. If additional facility costs are required they will be added to the total cost of training.  Each training will cost a minimum of $250 for National fees.  Each Trainer will work with the sponsoring organization to determine overall costs for the training, making every attempt to keep expenses to a minimum.  The cost that each participant pays depends on the total enrolled participants and costs negotiated by the agency and Trainer. Contact your local Trainer or National SOPHE for more information.

Documents and Resources:  All documents in the CDCynergy program (i.e. PDFs) can be legally printed, copied in multiples, readily distributed, etc.  Documents linked to/from CDCynergy depend on the source.  If they are on CDC or other government web sites, then generally they can also be legally printed, copied in multiples, readily distributed, etc.  Resources on other non-government sites have to be handled on a case by case basis and generally by contacting the organization hosting the web site on which the resource is found. 

Media Spots:  If the media spots are related to smoking, the CDC Office on Smoking and Health has a media campaign resource center - you can find it online at  http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/mcrc/index.htm.  If the resources are from another area, it is suggested that you contact the corresponding division, center, or office at CDC to ask them how to access the materials.  The spots and copies we see on the CD-ROM are not high enough in quality for broadcast, and posters and many of the other miscellaneous files in the media library do not enlarge well.  In addition, often times non-governmental parties have been involved in the development of a spot, in which case they may be copyright protected,  or there may be talent costs involved in using the materials.  Posters and a lot of the miscellaneous files in the media library don't enlarge well at all, so try to discourage people from using them as they are in CDCynergy.  If participants really want to use these media resources, Interested parties need to contact CDC to track down the office/division that "owns" the particular piece of media, or contact Blakely Pomietto at National SOPHE (who will contact CDC directly).
