Proposed Project
CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)--New--Division
of Diabetes Translation, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Evidence from efficacy and effectiveness research studies has shown
that lifestyle modifications leading to weight loss and increased
physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in individuals
with prediabetes or those at high risk of developing diabetes. To
translate these research findings into practice, lifestyle programs
that are effective and affordable need to be widely available and
delivered on an ongoing basis.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working to
ensure that effective diabetes prevention programs are scalable,
sustainable and affordable. To fullfill this mission, CDC is
establishing the CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) as
an activity of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, housed in the
Division of Diabetes Translation. The DPRP will provide a mechanism for
recognizing organizations that deliver effective, community-based type
2 diabetes prevention programs. Information about program recognition
status will be available to people at high risk of type 2 diabetes,
their health care providers, and health payers. The Diabetes Prevention
Recognition Program is authorized under section 399V-3 of Public Law
111-148, which directs CDC ``to determine eligibility of entities to
deliver community-based type 2 diabetes prevention services,'' monitor
and evaluate the services, and provide technical assistance.
Organizations may apply for recognition through the DPRP by
completing a one-time, on-line
[[Page 80058]]
application form. To qualify, programs must meet the minimum
eligibility requirements set forth in CDC's ``DPRP Draft Recognition
Standards and Operating Procedures.'' Criteria for recognition include,
but are not limited to: (1) Following an evidence-based curriculum that
has been proven effective in research and demonstration projects, and
(2) submitting de-identified participant process and outcome data to
CDC every six months. CDC will use the process and outcome data to
monitor and evaluate program effectiveness and to provide targeted
technical assistance to applicant organizations. Three levels of
recognition will be provided: Pending recognition for new applicants
that have submitted an application and meet eligibility criteria
defined by DPRP standards and operating procedures; Full recognition
for programs that have demonstrated effectiveness according to DPRP
standards; and Probationary recognition for programs that are working
towards full attainment of the standards.
Each organization that seeks recognition through the DPRP will
submit an initial, online application form to CDC. There is no
application deadline. The de-identified process and outcome data
necessary for assessing program performance will be submitted to CDC
electronically twice per year. The due dates for these submissions will
be determined by the date of the organization's initial application.
CDC estimates that burden to respondents will be modest since the
information requested for DPRP recognition is routinely collected by
organizations that deliver lifestyle programs. To further minimize
burden to respondents, CDC will accept process and outcome data
submitted using any electronic format, software or method that meets
the requirements established by DPRP standards and operating
procedures.
OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC anticipates seeking
continued OMB approval throughout the lifetime of the DPRP. Respondents
will be organizational entities that offer diabetes prevention
services. Participation in the DPRP is voluntary, and there are no
costs to respondents other than their time.
