Proposed Project: Bureau of Primary
Health Care (BPHC) Uniform Data
System (OMB No. 0915–0193)—
Extension
The Uniform Data System (UDS)
contains the annual reporting
requirements for the cluster of primary
care grantees funded by the Bureau of
Primary Health Care (BPHC), Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA). The UDS is a reporting
requirement for grantees of the
Consolidated Health Center Program
(the Program), which provides support
to community health centers, migrant
health centers, health care for the
homeless centers, public housing
primary care centers, and other grantees
under the Program’s authorizing statute
(section 330 of the Public Health Service
Act, as amended).
The Bureau collects data in the UDS
which is used to ensure compliance

with legislative mandates and to report
to Congress and policymakers on
program accomplishments. To meet
these objectives, BPHC requires a core
set of data collected annually that is
appropriate for monitoring and
evaluating performance and reporting
on annual trends.

Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.
L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and draft
instruments, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: Disadvantaged
Assistance Tracking and Outcome
Report (OMB No. 0915–0233)—
Extension
The Health Careers Opportunity
Program (HCOP) and the Centers of
Excellence (COE) Program (sections 740
and 739 of the Public Health Service
(PHS) Act, respectively) provide
opportunities for under-represented
minorities and disadvantaged
individuals to enter and graduate from
health professions schools. The
Disadvantaged Assistance Tracking and
Outcome Report (DATOR), is used to
track program participants throughout
the health professions pipeline into the
health care workforce.
The DATOR, to be completed
annually by HCOP and COE grantees,
includes basic data on student
participants (name, social security
number, gender, race/ethnicity; targeted
health professions, their status in the
educational pipeline from preprofessional through professional
training; financial assistance received
through the grants funded under
sections 739 and 740 of the PHS Act in
the form of stipends, fellowships or per
diem; and their employment or practice
setting following their entry into the
health care work force).
The proposed reporting instrument
does not add significantly to the
grantees reporting burden. This
reporting instrument complements the
grantees internal automated reporting
mechanisms of using name and social
security number in tracking students.
The reporting burden includes the total
time, effort, and financial resources
expended to maintain, retain and
provide the information including: (1)
Reviewing instructions; (2)
downloading and utilizing technology
for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and processing the data; and
(3) transmitting electronically, or
otherwise disclosing the information.

Awardee Application and Reporting
Tool (AART): (New)
The Awardee Application and
Reporting Tool (AART) will be an
online system allowing the 62 Awardees
participating in the National
Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness
Program (NBHPP) to electronically
submit a continuing cooperative
agreement application (CAA), mid-year
progress report on annual activities, a
final report on annual activities and
progress indicator report to HRSA’s
Healthcare Systems Bureau, Division of
Healthcare Preparedness. The CAA will
be a standardized application consisting
Number of
respondents
Submission type
Responses
per
Respondent
of 16 Critical Benchmarks (CBM). For
each CBM, Awardees will be required to
provide a goal, objectives, and a budget
outlining how funding provided by
HRSA will be spent during the coming
year. On the mid-year progress report,
Awardees will indicate the progress
they have made toward each of the
objectives they noted on their CAA. For
the final report on annual activities,
Awardees will provide additional
details on how their objectives were
being achieved and how the program
monies were spent. On the progress
indicator report, Awardees will indicate
the progress they have made to date
toward achieving the program’s CBM.
Currently, the submission of the CAA
and progress reports is a manual process
by which Awardees submit paper-based
submissions or electronically transmit
text files to HRSA project officers (POs).
These files are then reviewed manually
and data analysis is difficult. The AART
system will provide POs with the ability
to review and approve applications,
review progress reports, and generate
reports online. In addition, the reporting
interface will allow HRSA to quickly
and efficiently analyze data, identify
trends, make timely program decisions,
and provide the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), Congress,
or other Agencies with any specific data
or metrics requested.

complete and submit a submission is as
