Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.
L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and draft
instruments, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: Health Centers
Patient Survey—(NEW)
The Health Center program supports
Community Health Centers (CHCs),
Migrant Health Centers (MHCs), Health
Care for the Homeless (HCH) projects,
and Public Housing Primary Care
(PHPC) programs. Health Centers (HCs)
receive grants from HRSA to provide
primary and preventive health care
services to medically underserved
populations.
The proposed Patient Survey will
collect in-depth information about HC
patients, their health status, the reasons
they seek care at HCs, their diagnoses,
the services they utilize at HCs and
elsewhere, the quality of those services,
and their satisfaction with the care they
receive, through personal interviews of
a stratified random sample of HC
patients. Interviews are planned to take
approximately 1 hour and six minutes
each.
The Patient Survey builds on previous
periodic User-Visit Surveys which were
conducted to learn about the process
and outcomes of care in CHCs and HCH
projects. The original questionnaires
were derived from the National Health
Interview Survey (NHIS) and the
National Hospital Ambulatory Medical
Care Survey (NHAMCS) conducted by
the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS). Conformance with the NHIS
and NHAMCS allowed comparisons
between these NCHS surveys and the
previous CHC and HCH User-Visit
Surveys. The new Patient Survey was
developed using a questionnaire
methodology similar to that used in the
past, and will also potentially allow
some longitudinal comparisons for
CHCs and HCH projects with the
previous User-Visit survey data,
including monitoring of process
outcomes over time. In addition, this
survey will include interviews of
patients drawn from migrant
populations and from residents of
public housing, populations not
included in the previous surveys.
The estimated response burden for the
survey is as follows:

Discovery of Novel Pharmacophores
Inhibiting the Growth of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Description of Technology:
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects
roughly one third of the world
population and approximately 8 million
people develop TB annually. The
emergence of multi-drug resistant
(MDR) and extensively drug-resistant
(XDR) TB strains highlight the need for
new drugs against TB. The inventions
described herein are small molecules
with drug-like properties that inhibit the
growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The compounds were discovered
utilizing high-throughput screening of a
101,000 compound library. Three
hundred active compounds inhibit
Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth by
90% or greater in in vitro assays with
MIC values ranging from 1.6 to less than
0.1 micrograms/ml, and showing
minimal toxicity in tissue culture cells.
Structure similarity analyses of the
compounds reveal 44 chemical clusters
representing 250 active compounds.
Applications: Treatment of TB
infections.
Advantages: Novel drug candidates
against TB.
Development Status: In vitro data can
be provided upon request.
Market: TB therapeutics.
Inventors: Robert C. Goldman (NIAID)
et al.
Publications: Manuscript in
preparation.
Patent Status: U.S. Provisional
Application No. 61/092,710 filed 28
Aug 2008 (HHS Reference No. E–310–
2008/0–US–01).
Licensing Status: Available for

Proposed Project: Health Centers Patient Survey--(NEW)
The Health Center program supports Community Health Centers (CHCs),
Migrant Health Centers (MHCs), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH)

Centers (HCs) receive grants from HRSA to provide primary and
preventive health care services to medically underserved populations.
The proposed Patient Survey will collect in-depth information about

their diagnoses, the services they utilize at HCs and elsewhere, the
quality of those services, and their satisfaction with the care they
receive, through personal interviews of a stratified random sample of

The Patient Survey builds on previous periodic User-Visit Surveys
which were conducted to learn about the process and outcomes of care in
