Proposed Project
National Program of Cancer Registries Annual Program Evaluation
Instrument (NPCR-APEI)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and brief description of the proposed project:
CDC is responsible for administering and monitoring the National
Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). As of 1999, CDC supported 45
states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia for population-
based cancer registries. (The 5 remaining states receive federal
funding for the operations of cancer registries through the National
Cancer Institute.)
The NPCR Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (NPCR-APEI) is needed
in order to receive, process, evaluate, aggregate and disseminate NPCR
program information. Data collected using this instrument will be used
by the NPCR to evaluate various attributes of the registries funded by
NPCR, monitor NPCR registries' progress towards program standards,
goals, and objectives, and respond to data inquiries made by CDC and
other agencies of the federal government. Some data for this instrument
is pre-loaded, thus minimizing the burden on respondents. There are no
costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey.
