Proposed Project

    The 317 Immunization Grant Program Evaluation--New--National 
Immunization Program (NIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description:

    The 317 Immunization Grant Program is the primary vehicle through 
which CDC's NIP provides vaccine infrastructure. It has been in 
existence since its Congressional enactment in 1963 and provides annual 
grants to 50 states, six urban areas, four territories/commonwealths 
and four freely associated states for both vaccine assurance and 
vaccine delivery. The 317 Grant Program provides recipients with 
infrastructure support for diverse program activities including 
surveillance, immunization registries, training, education, public 
information and outreach, quality assurance of providers, vaccine 
management and purchase of vaccines for adults and children who do not 
qualify for the Vaccine for Children program.
    In response to the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) review and 
the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) recommendation for a 
comprehensive evaluation, a Grantee Immunization Survey of 50 state and 
6 urban project 317 Immunization Program grantees will be conducted. 
The program will evaluate current operations and performance; recommend 
processes to improve efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and 
accountability; and provide direction for future funding cycles. Data 
will not be collected from the four territories/commonwealths and four 
freely associated states because of their unique socioeconomic, 
political and cultural environments.
    The Grantee Immunization Survey will: (1) Provide information on 
the resources and management activities of the 317 Grant Program; (2) 
provide information that will enable the 317 Grant Program to monitor 
program operations and progress; and (3) provide a mechanism for 
systematic collection of robust program and cost data to monitor 
program operations and progress toward goals.
    The 63 item Grantee Immunization Survey will be completed on-line 
via a password protected Web site by the Immunization Program Manager 
and other selected immunization program staff as needed. The results 
will be used to enhance the overall efficiency and efficacy of the 317 
Program thus enhancing vaccine assurance and delivery.
    Collection of the information for this study is a one-time effort. 
There are no direct costs to respondents other than their time to 
complete and return the questionnaire.
