Proposed Project
Performance Measures of the Cooperative Agreement Readiness
Assessment Tool (CARAT) for the CDC Division of State and Local
Readiness (DSLR)--New--Coordinating Office of Terrorism Preparedness
and Emergency Response (COTPER), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CARAT is a program performance monitoring tool developed by
DSLR's Outcome Monitoring and Evaluation Branch in cooperation with CDC
subject matter experts and external partners. The nomenclature to
differentiate CARAT's data collection (reporting) periods is: CARAT-
Annual, CARAT-Semi-annual, and CARAT-Quarterly. CARAT-Semi-annual and
CARAT-Quarterly are independent subsets of CARAT-Annual reports.
Specifically, the data collected will be used to monitor grantees'
performance as it relates to the goals and intent of the cooperative
agreement, and to determine the technical assistance that may be
needed, specific to each grantee. Additionally, the data will be used
to report the program's readiness status as well as prepare individual
and aggregate readiness reports for: Congress, State departments,
Federal agencies and officials as necessary.
Cooperative agreement recipients will report their data to the
Division of State and Local Readiness in the Center for Terrorism
Preparedness and Emergency Response at CDC through the State and Local
Preparedness Program Management Information System (SLPPMIS). This
system uses a secure web browser-based technology for data entry and
data management. The data will be collected and entered by
administrative/management personnel from each cooperative agreement
recipient. The table below shows the estimated annual burden in hours
to collect and report data. There is no cost to the respondents other
than their time.
