The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Assessment of the
State Maternal and Child Health
Comprehensive Systems Grant (SECCS)
Program (NEW)
HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) is conducting an
assessment of MCHB’s State Maternal
and Child Health Comprehensive
Systems Grant (SECCS) Program. The
purpose of the SECCS Program is to
support State and local communities in
their efforts to build comprehensive and
coordinated early childhood service
systems and to increase the leadership
and participation of State MCH Title V
programs in multi-agency early
childhood systems development
initiatives.
The SECCS funding is offered to
States, jurisdictions, or Territory Title V
agencies in two stages: Planning and
Implementation. This assessment will
only focus on Implementation Grantees
awarded in 2005 (approximately 20
grantees) and 2006 (approximately 40
grantees). The purpose of the
assessment is to determine: (1) Progress
of implementation grantees in meeting
the goals and objectives set forth in their
plans developed during the planning
phase and in building program
infrastructure and capacity to improve
early childhood services in their states/
jurisdictions/territories; (2)
programmatic, policy, and systemic
barriers and facilitators that affect
program implementation; and (3)
quality and effectiveness of the
technical assistance (TA) provided to
the grantees. The results of the
assessment will provide MCHB with
timely feedback on the achievements of
the SECCS Program and identify
potential areas for improvement, which
will inform program planning and
operational decisions.
As part of the project, all
implementation grantees will be asked
to complete a Minimum Data Set (MDS),
which will primarily include closedended questions addressing grantees’
progress in achieving the requirements
outlined in the implementation grant
guidance. The MDS will primarily
capture quantitative data on
implementation grantees’ progress in
increasing the State MCH Program’s role
and leadership in multi-agency early
childhood systems development
initiatives and building partnerships

and system capacity to improve early
childhood services in their States.
This information will supplement and
enhance the MCHB’s current data
collection efforts by providing a
quantifiable, standardized, systematic
mechanism for collecting information
across the funded implementation
Respondents: The SECCS
implementation grantees (Title V
agencies) funded in 2005 and 2006 will
be the primary respondents of the
instrument. Approximately 60
implementation grantees will respond to
the MDS. The estimated response
burden is as follows:
grantees. For the 2005 cohort of
implementation grantees, the MDS will
be administered once in 2006 to gather
baseline data, and again in the second
year of implementation (2007) to gather
follow-up data on progress made. For
the 2006 cohort of grantees, the MDS
will be administered once in 2007.

understandings of disease processes,
including for AIDS, TB, and chronic
diseases such as heart disease, that
affect all Americans. The purpose of this
announcement is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment. The
National Institutes of Health may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent
is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or
after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection
Title: Fogarty International Center
CareerTrac.
Type of Information Collection
Request: New.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: This data collection system
is being developed to track, evaluate
and report short and long-term outputs,
outcomes and impacts of international
trainees involved in health research
training programs specifically tracking
this for at least ten years following
training by having trainees enter their
own data after they have completed the
program. The data collection system
provides a streamlined, Web-based
application permitting principal
investigators to record career
achievement progress by trainee on a
voluntary basis. FIC management will
use this data to monitor, evaluate and
adjust grants to ensure desired outcomes
are achieved, comply with OMB PART
requirements, respond to congressional
inquiries, and as a guide to inform
future strategic and management
decisions regarding the grant program.
Frequency of Response: Annual and
periodic.
Affected Public: None.
Type of Respondents: Principal
Investigators funded by Fogarty
International Center.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:

This information will supplement and enhance the MCHB's current
