The purpose of the CPHP Program is to strengthen terrorism and emergency preparedness by linking academic expertise to state and local health agency needs. The program brings together colleges and universities with a common focus on public health preparedness to establish a national network of education and training resources. Of these institutions, 27 are accredited Schools of Public Health funded through a five-year Cooperative Agreement for years 2004–2009. This program addresses the public health goals described in ‘‘A National Strategy for Terrorism Preparedness and Response: 2003–2008 Strategic Plan,’’ specifically Imperative Five, a Competent and Sustainable Workforce. Critical objectives under this Imperative are to: (1) Increase the number and type of professionals that comprise a preparedness and response workforce; (2) deliver certification and competency-based training and education; (3) recruit and retain the highest quality workforce; and (4) evaluate the impact of training to ensure learning has occurred. CDC requests OMB approval for a period of one year to collect information beginning in the fall of 2009. CDC is undertaking a summative evaluation of the CPHP Program encompassing the period of the current Cooperative Agreement. In order to complete this evaluation, CDC is proposing three data collection instruments to gather information describing the program’s processes and outcomes. These are: (1) CPHP Interview Instrument; (2) CPHP Customer/Partner Survey Instrument; and (3) CPHP Customer/Partner FollowUp Interview Instrument. Collectively, these instruments are needed in order to gather, process, aggregate, evaluate, and disseminate CPHP program information. The information will be used by CDC to document progress toward meeting established program goals and objectives, to evaluate outcomes generated by the collective work of the 27 Centers, to inform the development of a new public health preparedness education and training cooperative agreement program, and to respond to data inquiries made by CDC and other agencies of the federal government. The CPHP Interview Instrument will be used to guide a telephone interview process with key CPHP staff. Questions will gather perceptions about the CPHP Program from the perspective of CPHP staff. It is estimated that there will be a total of 81 respondents with an estimated time for data collection of 90 minutes. The CPHP Customer/Partner Survey Instrument will be used to gather information from representatives of organizations that have received training or technical assistance from the CPHP Program. It will be administered electronically with an option for paper copy administration. It is estimated that there will be one request per respondent and a total of 171 respondents with an estimated time for data collection of 20 minutes. The CPHP Customer/Partner Follow-Up Interview Instrument will be used to gather more in-depth information on the same categories of questions from the Survey Instrument.

Immunogenic Peptide from NGEP Protein for Developing Prostate Cancer Vaccines Description of Technology: The NGEP protein is only present in the prostate and is typically overexpressed on prostate cancer cells. Hence, as a novel prostate tumor-associated antigen (TAA) it is a good target for developing active immunotherapies to kill prostate cancer cells. For example, NGEP could be used in a vaccine to activate an individual’s immune system to recognize and kill NGEP-expressing prostate cancer cells. However, TAAs typically are not very effective in inciting an immune response. This can be overcome by identifying portions (epitopes) of the E:\FR\FM\09JYN1.SGM 09JYN1

Health Service Act, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is 
responsible for administering and monitoring the

Centers for Public Health Preparedness (CPHP) Program. The purpose of 
the CPHP Program is to strengthen terrorism and emergency preparedness 
by linking academic expertise to state and local health agency needs. 
The program brings together colleges and universities with a common 
focus on public health preparedness to establish a national network of 
education and training resources. Of these institutions, 27 are 
accredited Schools of Public Health funded through a five-year 
Cooperative Agreement for years 2004-2009. This program addresses the

objectives under this Imperative are to: (1) Increase the number and 
type of professionals that comprise a preparedness and response 
workforce; (2) deliver certification and competency-based training and 
education; (3) recruit and retain the highest quality workforce; and 
(4) evaluate the impact of training to ensure learning has occurred.
    CDC requests OMB approval for a period of one year to collect
