Proposed Project
Integrating HIV and Other Prevention Services into Reproductive
Health and Other Community Settings On-Line Performance Reporting
System--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Integrating HIV and Other Prevention Services into Reproductive
Health and Other Community Settings is a training project of the CDC,
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion,
and its grantees, their ten family planning regional training centers.
The project requires twice yearly reports from its grantees (each of
whom corresponds to one of the ten federal public health regions), on
their training-centered intervention activities. CDC guidelines also
obligate grantees, under cooperative agreements to provide such
performance reporting. To facilitate grantees' compliance with
performance reporting requirements, a secure online performance
reporting system has been designed to capture training activity
information, an indicator of consistent and measurable project
progress. Each grantee enters and edits their own training activity
data and generates project evaluation documents and semi-annual reports
on the Internet. CDC will use the reported data to assess project
progress towards achieving its objectives:
1. Measurable information about grantees' prevention training
activities.
2. Evaluate prevention training needs, complexity, diversity, and
availability.
3. Comparisons between the trained population and the general
population of the local area.
4. Evaluate special cultural and regional needs.
5. Describe the complexity of the trained workforce.
6. Grant grantees access to on-line data reports.
Grantees' semi-annual performance reports are due April 30 and
October 30 during each year of the 5-year cooperative agreement. Using
the on-line system, grantees enter data during each reporting period,
then, generate a copy of their training report. Next, by the specified
dates, grantees deliver this performance report and their non-
structured narrative report, which explains additions, deletions,
changes, and redirections of training objectives or activities, to
CDC's Procurement and Grants Office.
