In addition, NHDS data provide annual updates for numerous tables in the Congressionally-mandated NCHS report, Health, United States. Data for the NHDS are collected annually on approximately 300,000 discharges from a nationally (186) are abstracted from medical records. The remaining hospitals supply data through in-house tapes or printouts (80 hospitals) or are hospitals that belong to commercial abstract service organizations or state data systems (160 hospitals) from which electronic data files are purchased.

VerDate jul<14>2003 19:40 Jul 26, 2005 Jkt 205001 Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting OMB approval of this data collection to collection HIV prevention evaluation data from health departments and directly funded community-based organizations (CBOs). The proposed data collection will incorporate data elements from three other OMB-approved data collections: Evaluating CDC Funded Health Department HIV Prevention Programs (OMB Control No. 0920–0497, expiration date 4/30/2006); Assessing the Effectiveness of CBOs for the Delivery of HIV Prevention Programs (OMB Control No. 0920–0525, expiration date 10/31/2004); and HIV/ AIDS Prevention and Surveillance Project Reports for counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) (OMB Control No. 0920–0208, expiration date 10/31/2005). CDC needs non-identifying, clientlevel, standardized evaluation data from health departments and CBO grantees to: (1) More accurately determine the extent to which HIV prevention efforts have been carried out by assessing what types of agencies are providing services, what resources are allocated to those services, to whom services are being provided, and how these efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; (2) improve ease of reporting to better meet that goal; and (3) be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of efforts made and use of funds in HIV prevention nationwide. Although CDC receives evaluation data from grantees, the data received to date is insufficient for evaluation and accountability.

Changes to the evaluation and reporting process have become necessary to ensure CDC receives standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both health departments and CBOs. For these reasons, CDC developed PEMS and consulted with representatives from health departments, CBOs, and the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors during development of PEMS. Respondents will report general agency information, program model and budget; intervention plan and delivery characteristics; and client demographics and behavioral characteristics. After initial set-up of the PEMS, data collection will include searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data, document compilation, review of data, and data entry into a Web-based system. Respondents will submit data quarterly. Respondents may choose one of the three options to enter and submit the required PEMS data variables: (1) Use the PEMS software provided and installed by CDC at no cost to the respondent; (2) revise their own existing HIV prevention information technology system and use the import-export data transfer process in PEMS; or (3) deploy PEMS locally, within the respondent facility using equipment purchased by the respondents.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program is 93.945. BILLING CODE 4163–18–P B. Eligible Applicant Assistance will only be provided to the Directors of Health Promotion and Education (DHPE). No other applications are solicited. DHPE is the only organization that can provide the services specified under this announcement. Eligibility is limited to DPHE because of its unique relationship with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and other ASTHO affiliates. DHPE is the only national nonprofit health education organization of which program directors and staff representing all states and territories are members. As such, it is uniquely capable, and organized specifically to serve as a leader and a confer of activities relative to State health education programs. DHPE has developed unique knowledge and understanding of the needs and operations of State health agencies. This affiliation with ASTHO is extremely important for the purposes of this cooperative agreement. It enables close coordination of national initiatives, identification of state trends that may impact national programs, and enables partnering with other state health agency departments on cross cutting issues. DHPE is the only affiliate whose primary mission is to promote education and health promotion as core disciplines of public health practice and to advocate for quality health education and health promotion programs and strategies to address the nation’s leading health problems. The organization represents both fields of health promotion and health education, as opposed to other public health organizations which have a primary focus on the profession of health education. Health promotion looks more broadly at public health systems, health policy, environmental change, and DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [Program Announcement 05077] Directors of Health Promotion and Education; Notice of Intent to Fund Single Eligibility Award A.

Proposed Project

Program Evaluation and Monitoring System (PEMS)--New--National
Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

CDC is requesting OMB approval of this data collection to
collection HIV prevention evaluation data from health departments and
directly funded community-based organizations (CBOs). The proposed data
collection will incorporate data elements from three other OMB-approved
data collections: Evaluating CDC Funded Health Department HIV
Prevention Programs (OMB Control No. 0920-0497, expiration date 4/30/
2006); Assessing the Effectiveness of CBOs for the Delivery of HIV
Prevention Programs (OMB Control No. 0920-0525, expiration date 10/31/
2004); and HIV/AIDS Prevention and Surveillance Project Reports for
counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) (OMB Control No. 0920-0208,
expiration date 10/31/2005).
CDC needs non-identifying, client-level, standardized evaluation
data from health departments and CBO grantees to: (1) More accurately
determine the extent to which HIV prevention efforts have been carried
out by assessing what types of agencies are providing services, what
resources are allocated to those services, to whom services are being
provided, and how these efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV
transmission; (2) improve ease of reporting to better meet that goal;
and (3) be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of efforts
made and use of funds in HIV prevention nationwide.
Although CDC receives evaluation data from grantees, the data
received to date is insufficient for evaluation and accountability.
Furthermore, there has not been standardization of required evaluation
data from both health departments and CBOs. Changes to the evaluation
and reporting process have become necessary to ensure CDC receives
standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both health
departments and CBOs. For these reasons, CDC developed PEMS and
consulted with representatives from health departments, CBOs, and the
National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors during
development of PEMS.
Respondents will report general agency information, program model
and budget; intervention plan and delivery characteristics; and client
demographics and behavioral characteristics. After initial set-up of
the PEMS, data collection will include searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining data, document compilation, review of data,
and data entry into a Web-based system. Respondents will submit data
quarterly. Respondents may choose one of the three options to enter and
submit the required PEMS data variables: (1) Use the PEMS software
provided and installed by CDC at no cost to the respondent; (2) revise
their own existing HIV prevention information technology system and use
the import-export data transfer process in PEMS; or (3) deploy PEMS
locally, within the respondent facility using equipment purchased by
the respondents. In addition, respondents may choose to utilize the
optional CDC scan form for the data collection. If the respondent
chooses the

scan form, the annual cost to respondents is approximately $1,700 for
the purchase of a scanner and scanning software. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 122,172.
