Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-5960 or send an e-mail
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-5806.
Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Prevention Research Centers Program National Evaluation Reporting
System (OMB No. 0920-0650 exp. 8/31/2010)--Revision--Division of Adult
and Community Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Program was established by
Congress through the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Amendments
of 1984. PRCs conduct outcomes-oriented health promotion and disease
prevention research on a broad range of topics using a multi-
disciplinary and community-based approach. CDC manages the PRC program
and currently provides funding to PRC grantees that are housed within
schools of public health, medicine, or osteopathy. Awards are made for
five years and renewed through a competitive application process.
CDC is currently approved to collect progress and performance
information about PRCs through the PRC Information System (IS), a Web-
based application (OMB no. 0920-0650, exp. 8/31/2010). The performance
information is used to track each PRC's progress toward, and
achievement of, the objectives established by the PRC Program and the
PRC's individual work plan, including indicators related to research
projects, products resulting from those projects, trainings related to
those projects, and partnerships. Information has been collected
through the PRC IS twice per year.
In the next approval period, information collection will be
restructured around a revised set of performance indicators and revised
information collection methodology. The frequency of reporting will be
reduced to once per year, however, reporting will be divided into two
parts. The first information collection will be conducted
electronically utilizing Survey Monkey, a more user-friendly Web-based
survey system. This information collection will include the following:
(1) PRC involvement with State and local health departments and other
government agencies, (2) number and characteristics of research
projects, (3) number of training programs delivered, (4) number of
people trained, and (5) number of students trained. The second
information collection will consist of a telephone interview with a key
contact for each PRC grantee. The data will include the: (1) Number of
new people hired, (2) number of contracts entered into and supported by
PRC core funds, and (3) number of effective interventions. Although the
number of respondents will increase from 33 to 37 PRCs, the proposed
changes will result in a net decrease in the total estimated annualized
burden to respondents, due primarily to a decrease in the burden per
respondent.
OMB approval is being requested for a three-year period with a
start date of June 1, 2010. There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated burden hours are 259.
