Proposed Project
Emergency Epidemic Investigations
(0920–0008)—Revision—Office of
Workforce and Career Development
(OWCD), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
One of the objectives of CDC’s
epidemic services is to provide for the
prevention and control of epidemics
and protect the population from public
health crises such as man made or
natural biological disasters and
chemical emergencies. This objective is
carried out, in part, by training
investigators, maintaining laboratory
capabilities for identifying potential
problems, collecting and analyzing data,
and recommending appropriate actions
to protect the public’s health. When
state, local, or foreign health authorities
request help in controlling an epidemic
or solving other health problems, CDC
dispatches skilled epidemiologists from
the Epidemiologist Intelligence Service
(EIS) to investigate and resolve the
problem.
The purpose of the Emergency
Epidemic Investigation surveillance is
to collect data on the conditions
surrounding and preceding the onset of
a problem. The data must be collected
in a timely fashion so that information

can be used to develop prevention and
control techniques, to interrupt disease
transmission and to help identify the
cause of an outbreak. Since the events
necessitating the collections of
information are of an emergency nature,
most data collection is done by direct
interview or written questionnaire and
are one-time efforts related to a specific
outbreak or circumstance. If during the
emergency investigation, the need for
further study is recognized, a project is
designed and separate OMB clearance is
required. Interviews are conducted to be
as unobtrusive as possible and only the
minimal information necessary is
collected. The Emergency Epidemic
Investigations is the principal source of
data on outbreaks of infectious and
noninfectious diseases, injuries,
nutrition, environmental health and
occupational problems.
Each investigation does contribute to
the general knowledge about a
particular type of problem or
emergency, so that data collections are
designed to take into account similar
situations in the past. Some
questionnaires are standardized, such as
investigations of outbreaks aboard
aircraft or cruise vessels.
The Emergency Epidemic
Investigations provides a range of data
on the characteristics of outbreaks and
those affected by them. Data collected
include demographic characteristics,
exposure to the causative agent(s),
transmission patterns and severity of the
outbreak on the affected population.
These data, together with trend data,
may be used to monitor the effects of
change in the health care system,
planning of health services, improving
the availability of medical services and
assessing the health status of the
population.
Users of the Emergency Epidemic
Investigations data include, but are not
limited to EIS Officers in investigating
the patterns of disease or injury,
investigating the level of risky
behaviors, identifying the causative
agent and identifying the transmission
of the condition and the impact of
interventions.
Epi Trip Reports are delivered to the
state health agency official requesting
assistance shortly after completion of
the Emergency Epidemic Investigation.
The official can comment on both the
timeliness and the practical utility of
the recommendations from the
investigation. CDC is requesting that a
new form be added to the current
clearance. Upon completion of the
Emergency Epidemic Investigation,
requesting officials at the state or local
health department will be asked to
complete a brief questionnaire to assess

Background and Brief Description
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health 2010 (REACH 2010)
currently funds forty local coalitions to
establish community based programs
and culturally appropriate interventions
to eliminate racial and ethnic health
disparities. Two previously funded
grantees also retain access to the system.
Communities served by REACH 2010
include: African American, American
Indian, Hispanic American, Asian
American, and Pacific Islander. These
communities select among infant
mortality, deficits in breast and cervical
cancer screening and management,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/
AIDS, and deficits in childhood and
adult immunizations to focus their
interventions. Guided by logic models,
each community articulates goals,
objectives, and related activities; tracks
whether goals and objectives are met,
ongoing, or revised; and evaluates all
program activities. This information is
then entered into the REACH
Information Network (REACH IN).
REACH IN is a customized internet-

based support system that allows
REACH 2010 grantees to perform remote
data entry and retrieval of data.
This support system is designed to
create on-demand graphs and reports of
grantees’ activities and
accomplishments, monitor progress
toward the achievement of goals and
objectives, and share and synthesize
information across grantees’ activities.
Both quantitative and qualitative
analyses can be performed. These
analyses relate primarily to three stages
of the REACH 2010 logic model:
capacity building, targeted actions
(interventions), and community and
systems change and change among
change agents. Users are supported with
technical assistance and training,
covering the usage of the system from a
content/project goals perspective, and
technical operations.
The annualized estimated burden is
based on 42 respondents, including 40
currently funded grantees and two that
were funded previously who retain
access to the system. It is estimated that
they each use the system four times a
year to enter data, each data entry taking
about 30 minutes.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
84.
