Proposed Project
HIV Prevention Program Evaluation and Monitoring System for Health
Departments and Community-Based Organizations (PEMS)--Revision--(OMB
No. 0920-0696 exp. 8/31/2010)--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a revision of a data collection that is being incrementally
implemented. The currently approved collection under the HIV Prevention
Program Evaluation and Monitoring System for Health Departments and
Community-Based Organizations (PEMS, 0920-0696) was approved on August
22, 2007, for three years (until August 31, 2010). This revision
includes a request to change the title to ``National HIV Prevention
Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E) Data''. The purpose of this
request is to collect standardized HIV prevention program monitoring
and evaluation data from health department and community-based
organization (CBO) grantees. Standardized data on agencies, program
plans, HIV testing, health education/risk reduction, health
communication/public information, and partner services has begun during
the three years of the previous approval. Analysis and reporting of
these data to stakeholders, including HHS and Congress, has also begun
and the intent is to continue both data collection and reporting on an
on-going basis.
Per HIV prevention cooperative agreements, CDC requires non-
identifying, client-level, standardized evaluation data from health
department and CBO grantees to: (1) More accurately determine the
extent to which HIV prevention efforts have been carried out, what
types of agencies are providing services, what resources are allocated
to those services, to whom services are being provided, and how these
efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; (2)
improve ease of reporting to better meet these data needs; and (3) be
accountable to stakeholders by informing them of efforts made and use
of funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
Although CDC received evaluation data from grantees prior to the
PEMS, the data received previously were insufficient for evaluation and
accountability. Furthermore, there was not standardization of required
evaluation data from both health departments and CBOs. Changes to the
evaluation and reporting process were necessary to ensure CDC receives
standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both health
department and CBO grantees. For these reasons, CDC developed the PEMS
(now NHM&E) variables through consultation with representatives from
health departments, CBOs, and national partners (e.g., The National
Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, Urban Coalition of
HIV/AIDS Prevention Services, and National Minority AIDS Council).
Respondents will collect, enter, and report general agency
information, program model and budget data, and client demographics and
behavioral risk characteristics. (Data collection will include
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data,
document compilation, review of data, and data entry.) Agencies will
submit data quarterly. There are no costs to respondents. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 298,660.
