Proposed Project Integrating HIV and Other Prevention Services into Reproductive Health and Other Community Settings On-Line Performance Reporting System—New— National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Integrating HIV and Other Prevention Services into Reproductive Health and Other Community Settings is a training project of the CDC, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and its grantees, their ten family planning regional training centers. The project requires twice yearly reports from its grantees (each of whom corresponds to one of the ten federal public health regions), on their training-centered intervention activities. CDC guidelines also obligate grantees, under cooperative agreements to provide such performance reporting. To facilitate grantees’ compliance with performance reporting requirements, a secure online performance reporting system has been designed to capture training activity information, an indicator of consistent and measurable project progress. Each grantee enters and edits their own training activity VerDate Aug<18>2005 15:25 Sep 07, 2005 Jkt 205001 data and generates project evaluation documents and semi-annual reports on the Internet. CDC will use the reported data to assess project progress towards achieving its objectives: 1. Measurable information about grantees’ prevention training activities. 2. Evaluate prevention training needs, complexity, diversity, and availability. 3. Comparisons between the trained population and the general population of the local area. 4. Evaluate special cultural and regional needs. 5. Describe the complexity of the trained workforce. 6. Grant grantees access to on-line data reports. Grantees’ semi-annual performance reports are due April 30 and October 30 during each year of the 5-year cooperative agreement. Using the online system, grantees enter data during each reporting period, then, generate a copy of their training report. Next, by the specified dates, grantees deliver this performance report and their nonstructured narrative report, which explains additions, deletions, changes, and redirections of training objectives or activities, to CDC’s Procurement and Grants Office. Grantees’ on-line performance reports incorporate the following: A. Log-in information. • Cooperative agreement number. • Grantee organization name. • Fiscal year. B.

Proposed Project

    National Survey of 911 Emergency Treatment for Heart Disease and 
Stroke --New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this project is to enhance CDC's understanding of 
emergency medical services (EMS) administration and oversight, identify 
important stakeholders for partnering and cooperation, and gather data 
on heart disease and stroke emergency treatment protocols in use. This 
project will fill an important gap in CDC's understanding of heart 
disease and stroke emergency medical care by providing detailed 
information from a sample of EMS organizations on operational 
resources, configurations of certification levels, treatment protocols 
and performance measures, and other significant issues at a local and 
state level in 9 states (FL, MA, KS, MT, NM, PA, OR, SC, AR), in order 
to ultimately contribute to the development and implementation of best 
practices for emergency treatment of heart disease and stroke.
    The objectives of the data collection are to prepare a 
comprehensive description of the ``state of the practice'' of pre-
hospital emergency medical services related to cardiac and stroke care. 
This will include organizational and administrative aspects of EMS at 
state, sub-state district, and local levels, major public and private 
stakeholders in the conduct of EMS, technical support issues, and 
practices related to positive outcomes in pre-hospital cardiac and 
stroke emergency care. Data analysis will include a compilation of the 
practices in use and comparison of organizational and administrative 
configurations.
    Data collection includes: (1) A telephone survey with a random 
sample of 250 local EMS agency supervisors (total N=2,250) in each of 9 
States on the status of capabilities represented and treatment 
protocols used in EMS organizations related to cardiac and stroke care; 
(2) in-person interviews with state level EMS officials (e.g., State 
EMS Director, State EMS Medical Director, or public health agency 
representative) (N=18) who are involved in policy and practice of the 
EMS system in the state and, (3) telephone interviews with a purposive 
sample five sub-state level EMS officials (e.g., county or district 
directors) (N=45) in each of the 9 states to examine responsibilities 
and objectives at a sub-state level for the state's EMS system.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
