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 RFA 04003 (FY 2003-2009) for 
the Prevention Research Centers Program. The RFA introduced a set of 
performance indicators developed collaboratively with the 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 RFA 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.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking a 3 
year Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for an extension of 
a reporting system for the Prevention Research Centers Program 
Information System. In accordance with the original OMB approval (0920-
0650), the modification approved September 2005 (to add work plans and 
progress reports and to increase burden from 28 PRCs to 33 PRCs), and 
the modification approved November 2006 (to delete, modify, and add 
questions related to the performance indicators with no change in 
burden), 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 the same as 
the modification approved September 2005.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate 
in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 279.
