Proposed Project
Prevention Research Center Information System--Extension--National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description:
In spring 2003, CDC published Program Announcement 04003
(FY 2003-2009) for the Prevention Research Centers Program. The Program
Announcement introduced a set of performance indicators developed
collaboratively with the Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) and other
stakeholders and are consistent with federal requirements that all
agencies, in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of
1993, prepare performance plans and collect program-specific
performance measures. Currently, CDC provides funding to 33 PRCs
selected through competitive peer review process and managed as CDC
cooperative agreements. Awards are made for five (5) years and may be
renewed through a competitive process. PRCs are housed in a school of
public health, medicine, or osteopathy and conduct health promotion and
disease prevention research using a community-based participatory
approach.
In accordance with the current OMB approval for the Prevention
Research Centers (PRC) Information System, (OMB 0920-0650, expiration
November 30, 2007), this requested 3 year extension will continue the
data collection as approved. The Information System (IS) is a web-
based, password protected technical reporting system that allows the
accurate, uniform, and complete collection of PRC information using the
Internet. The IS allows CDC to monitor and report on PRC activities
efficiently and effectively. Data reported to CDC through the PRC IS
are used to identify training and technical assistance needs, monitor
compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate the
progress made in achieving center-specific goals and objectives, and
obtain information needed to describe the impact and effectiveness of
the overall program as needed to respond to Congressional and other
inquiries regarding the PRC Program. The annual report and record
keeping burden is essentially the same as the currently approved
Information Collection.
There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate
in the survey.
