Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-0371.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: HRSA AIDS Education and Training Centers Evaluation
Activities (OMB No. 0915-0281)--Revision
The AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) Program, under the
Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program legislation, supports a network
[[Page 19650]]
of regional and cross-cutting national centers that conduct targeted,
multi-disciplinary education and training programs for health care
providers treating persons with HIV/AIDS. The AETCs' purpose is to
increase the number of health care providers who are effectively
educated and motivated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically
manage individuals with HIV infection, and to help prevent high risk
behaviors that lead to HIV transmission.
As part of an ongoing effort to evaluate AETC activities,
information is needed on AETC training sessions, consultations, and
technical assistance activities. Each regional center collects forms on
AETC training events, and the centers are required to report aggregate
data on their activities to HRSA and the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). This
data collection provides information on the number of training events,
including clinical trainings and consultations, as well as technical
assistance activities conducted by each regional center, the number of
health care providers receiving professional training or consultation,
and the time and effort expended on different levels of training and
consultation activities. In addition, information is obtained on the
populations served by the AETC trainees, and the increase in capacity
achieved through training events. Collection of this information allows
HRSA and HAB to provide information on training activities and types of
education and training provided to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Grantees, resource allocation, and capacity expansion.
Trainees are asked to complete the Participant Information Form
(PIF) for each activity they complete, and trainers, are asked to
complete the Event Record (ER). The estimated annual response burden to
trainers as well as attendees of training programs is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The total burden hours are 23,858.2.
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to
the desk officer for HRSA, either by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. Please direct all
correspondence to the ``attention of the desk officer for HRSA.''
