Proposed Project
Prevention Research Center
Information System—Extension—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In spring 2003, CDC published RFA
#04003 (FY 2003–2009) for the
Prevention Research Centers Program.
The RFA introduced a set of
performance indicators developed
collaboratively with the PRCs and other
stakeholders and are consistent with
federal requirements that all agencies, in
response to the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993,
prepare performance plans and collect
program-specific performance measures.
Currently, CDC provides funding to 33
PRCs selected through competitive peer
review process and managed as CDC
cooperative agreements. Awards are
made for five (5) years and may be
renewed through a competitive RFA
process. PRCs are housed in a school of
public health, medicine, or osteopathy
and conduct health promotion and
disease prevention research using a
community-based participatory
approach.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is seeking a 3 year
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval for an extension of a
reporting system for the Prevention
Research Centers Program Information
System. In accordance with the original
OMB approval (0920–0650), the
modification approved September 2005
(to add work plans and progress reports
and to increase burden from 28 PRCs to
33 PRCs), and the modification
approved November 2006 (to delete,
modify, and add questions related to the
performance indicators with no change
in burden), this requested 3 year
extension will continue the data
collection as approved. The Information
System (IS) is a web-based, password
protected technical reporting system
that allows the accurate, uniform, and
complete collection of PRC information
using the Internet. The IS allows CDC to
monitor and report on PRC activities
efficiently and effectively. Data reported
to CDC through the PRC IS are used to
identify training and technical
assistance needs, monitor compliance
with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate the progress
made in achieving center-specific goals
and objectives, and obtain information
needed to describe the impact and
effectiveness of the overall program as
needed to respond to Congressional and
other inquiries regarding the PRC
Program. The annual report and record
keeping burden is the same as the
modification approved September 2005.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 279.

Proposed Project
Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related
Events Among Persons Not Receiving
Care-New-National Center for HIV, STD,
and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
A committee from the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) recently reviewed, at
the request of Congress, the status of
HIV/AIDS surveillance in the U.S. In the
resulting report, three populations of
interest were outlined, including
persons infected with HIV, who have a
diagnosis of HIV but are not receiving
care.
There are approximately 1 million
HIV-infected persons in the United
States. Of these, an estimated 75 percent
know they are infected, but
approximately half of those who know
they are infected do not have evidence
of having received any medical care for
their HIV infection. Existing HIV/AIDS
surveillance systems provide little
information about HIV-infected persons
who are not receiving care, especially
those who have never entered care. In
addition, an estimate of the size and
immunologic status of the latter group is
critically important for estimating
resources needed to support linkage to
care. Furthermore, identifying factors
related to not being linked to care will
be important in designing effective
interventions.
Based on the IOM recommendations
and to address the needs described
above, CDC is working with state and
local health departments in five project
areas to pilot a population-based
supplemental surveillance system,
‘‘Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related
Events Among Persons Not Receiving
Care,’’ also called the Never In Care
(NIC) Project. The NIC Project is
designed to describe HIV-infected
persons who are at least 90 days post
diagnosis and have never received HIV
care. The project will be conducted over
a three-year period and will obtain data
on a total of 1,000 persons
(approximately 500 per year) with HIV/
AIDS. The data collection will include
interview-based data only.
The methods were developed in light
of recommendations from the IOM, an
earlier population-based survey of
persons receiving care for HIV infection,
and earlier CDC pilots of populationbased methods.
For this proposed data collection,
participating public health jurisdictions
will conduct structured interviews with
HIV-infected persons identified using
their HIV/AIDS surveillance and
supplemental laboratory databases or
through HIV diagnostic and case
management service providers. The
target number of structured interviews
is 1,000 over 2 years of data collection.
Qualitative interviews will be
conducted with the first 75 persons who
agree to a second interview. The
information to be collected includes
demographic data, HIV testing history,
high-risk drug use and sexual behaviors,
reasons for not using health care and
treatment, and unmet needs.
Results from this project will be used
to develop estimates of the medical
services and resources needed for
persons who are infected with HIV, but
who have not received medical care and
treatment. Additionally, new data
related to those not receiving care may
be used to design effective interventions
for linking persons to care. The data will
have implications for policy, program
development, and resource allocation at
the state/local and national levels.
Users of NIC data include, but are not
limited to, Federal agencies, state and
local health departments, clinicians,
researchers, and HIV prevention and
care planning groups. Participation in
the data collection is voluntary and
there is no cost to respondents to
participate in the survey other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours is 325.
