Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210. Send written
comments to CDC, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax
to (202) 395-6974. Written comments should be received within 30 days
of this notice.
Proposed Project: Data Collection, Management, Reporting, and
Evaluation for the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)--New--National Center
for HIV, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC is requesting OMB approval to collect
data to assess the HIV prevention and capacity-building activities of
community-based organizations (CBOs) and other not-for-profit
organizations funded under the MAI. The essence of this initiative is
to implement an approach to HIV Prevention for minority communities
through three strategies: (1) Support of CBOs to deliver HIV prevention
services; (2) community coalition development (CCD) projects to
increase access to a linked network of HIV, STD, TB, and substance
abuse services; and (3) capacity-building assistance (CBA) to sustain,
improve, and expand HIV prevention services.
CDC requires MAI grantees to evaluate their programs. CDC has the
responsibility to support these evaluation efforts by assisting
grantees in the design and implementation of
[[Page 65935]]
their program evaluation activities, including the provision of
evaluation forms and conducting an overall evaluation of the MAI. The
data collected during this evaluation will allow CDC to (1) address
accountability needs, (2) provide necessary information to the MAI
grantees for improving their programs, and (3) provide a context for
understanding the effectiveness of programs targeting African Americans
and other racial and ethnic minorities.
Data collection will include self-administered questionnaires,
which will be submitted quarterly, document reviews, and interviews
with directors of community-based organizations, collaborating
organizations, other community organizations, and community members
served by these organizations. The first wave of data collection is
planned for the summer of 2003. Subsequent waves of data collection are
planned for 2004. The annualized burden for this data collection is 255
hours.
