Background and Brief Description Eight Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention (ACEs) and two Urban Partnerships—Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention (U–PACEs) are currently funded through CDC to foster and promote a stable, visible, long term strategy to address the complex problem of youth violence. The centers work with community members and many educational, justice and social work partners to develop action plans, partnerships, and priorities to prevent youth violence in a local community. In addition, one ACE Coordinating Center is funded to initiate, foster, and support coordinated efforts, including the development and dissemination of activities and products in youth violence research and practice, among the ACEs, UPACEs, and CDC. It also aims to facilitate increased collaboration among organizations working to prevent youth violence to support the sustainability of youth violence prevention programs. The Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention Program Information System will collect, in electronic format: (a) Data needed to measure progress toward, or achievement of, performance indicators and other outcomes and (b) information on Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention that is currently being collected in various electronic and paper documents. The clerical staff or Program Managers (n=11) will complete the majority of the system. The principal investigators (n=11) will review the information in the system and add details related to study design and outcomes of projects, as necessary. An Internet-based information system will allow CDC to monitor, and report on, ACE activities more efficiently. Data reported to CDC through the ACE information system will be used by CDC to identify training and technical assistance needs, monitor compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate the progress made in achieving center-specific goals, and obtain information needed to respond to Congressional and other inquiries regarding program activities and effectiveness. There are no costs to respondents except their time to enter data into the Information System. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 161.

Proposed Project OWCD Professional Training Program Online Application System—New— Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The mission of the Career Development Division (CDD), Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD), is to prepare an applied public health workforce through training and service. Professionals in public health, epidemiology, medicine, economics, information science, veterinary medicine, nursing, public policy and other related professions seek opportunities to broaden their knowledge and skills to improve the science and practice of public health. Each year CDC’s professional training programs receive approximately 685 applications from potential candidates for review and selection. Approximately 230 fellows graduate from these programs each year, and there are approximately 2,700 Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) and Preventive Medicine Residency/Fellow (PMR/F) alumni. The purpose of this project is to efficiently and effectively recruit and select qualified individuals to participate in the CDD professional training programs by collecting information through an online application management system. Alumni of these programs will be asked to update their profiles every three years. This online application provides the CDD with the information necessary to recruit qualified professionals to participate in public health professions training programs to build critical public health workforce capacity in epidemiology, preventive medicine, prevention effectiveness/health economics, public health informatics, and public health management and leadership. Further benefit from this online application is the reduction of duplicate candidate records as well as agency resources to administer and process paper records. The application process includes the following: Submission of the responses to the questions in the online application; submission of academic transcripts, professional credentials, and letters of recommendation; a review by selected programmatic staff and expert panel members; selection of qualified candidates for interview; interview of candidates; and selection of trainees for programs. The online application questions ask for demographic data, academic history, professional experience, references and description of professional goals. The application questions and data collected are necessary to the application process to determine programmatic eligibility and to ensure that the most highly qualified candidates are chosen for the training programs. With the exception of their time, the cost to the candidates is minor. One expense depends on their academic institutions since they must obtain and submit all their academic transcripts. Another expense depends on the cost to obtain and submit other professional credentials including professional licenses and certifications. The final expense is the cost to submit letters of recommendation. The total estimated annualized burden in hours is 740.
