National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Evaluation of the
NIAID HIV Vaccine Research Education
Initiative
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID), the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
the information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on July 16, 2009, page 34580
and allowed 60 days for public
comment. No public comments were
received. The purpose of this notice is
to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment. The National Institutes of
Health may not conduct or sponsor, and
the respondent is not required to
respond to, an information collection
that has been extended, revised, or
implemented on or after October 1,
1995, unless it displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: Evaluation
of the NIAID HIV Vaccine Research
Education Initiative. Type of
Information Collection Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
To address the need for volunteers in
HIV vaccine clinical trials, and enable
NIAID to fulfill its Congressional
mandate to prevent infectious diseases
like HIV/AIDS, NIAID created the
NIAID HIV Vaccine Research Education
Initiative (NHVREI). The goal of
NHVREI is to increase knowledge about
and support for HIV vaccine research
among U.S. populations most heavily
affected by HIV/AIDS—in particular,
African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos,
men who have sex with men (MSM),
women and youth, recognizing the
intersection of these groups.
NIAID is planning an evaluation of
NHVREI to assess (a) implementation of
NHVREI (i.e., process evaluation) and
(b) impact (i.e., outcomes evaluation) of
NHVREI on awareness of, knowledge
about, and support for HIV vaccine
research among NHVREI primary
audiences (i.e., partner organizations,

key influencers) that work with target
populations.
A survey will be conducted with key
influencers of the NHVREI target
populations to measure their level of
awareness, knowledge about, and
support for HIV vaccine research. Focus
groups will also be conducted with
representatives of organizations
receiving grants through the NHVREI
Local Partnership Program (LPP) and
National Partnership Program (NPP), as
well as representatives from a broader
group of organizations called the
NHVREI Network. The purpose of
conducting focus groups with LPP, NPP,
and NHVREI Network representatives is
to obtain data on their experience
implementing NHVREI activities.
Questions asked during the group
discussions will address efforts
implementing educational activities and
developing materials, community
partnerships developed, engagement of
key influencers in program activities,
and the types of media outreach and
capacity building engaged in. Frequency
of Response: Twice. Affected Public:
Individuals. Type of Respondents: Key
influencers of target populations. The
annual reporting burden is shown in the

to report. There are no Operating or
Maintenance Costs to report.

Proposed Project
National Survey of Residential Care
Facilities (NSRCF) (OMB No. 0920–
0780)—Revision—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect
statistics on health resources * * *
[and] utilization of health care,
including extended care facilities, and
other institutions.’’
In 2008, NCHS sought approval for a
pretest and full survey of The National
Survey of Residential Care Facilities
(NSRCF). OMB approved only the
pretest which has been completed.
NCHS now seeks approval to collect the
full survey. The survey is designed to
complement data collected by other
Federal surveys and to fill a significant
data gap about a major portion of the
long-term care population. Data from
NSRCF will provide information on
residential care facilities that
policymakers, providers, and
researchers can use to address a wide
array of policy and research questions.
The survey will utilize a computerassisted personal interviewing (CAPI)
system to collect information about
facility and resident characteristics.
This computerized system speeds the
flow of data; making it possible to
release information on a timely basis
and easier for respondents to participate
in the survey. The CAPI system may
also enhance data quality. Clearance for
two years is being requested.
A stratified random sample of
residential care facilities across four
strata (small, medium, large and very
large) will be selected to participate in
NSRCF. To be eligible a facility must be
licensed, registered, listed, certified, or
otherwise regulated by the State;
provide room and board with at least
two meals a day; provide around-the-
clock on-site supervision; assist with
activities of daily living (e.g., bathing,
eating, or dressing) or medication
supervision; serve a primarily adult
population; and have at least four beds.
The facility questionnaire will collect
data about facility characteristics (e.g.,
size, age, types of rooms), services
offered, characteristics of the resident
population, facility policies and
services, charges for services, and
background of the director. The resident
questionnaire collects information on
resident demographics, current living
arrangements within the facility,
involvement in activities, use of
services, charges for care, health status,
and cognitive and physical functioning.
For the national survey,
approximately 2,250 facilities will be
surveyed for an annual average of 1,125
facilities; information on an average of
4 residents will be collected from the
annual average facility staff. Residents
themselves will not be interviewed.
Users of NSRCF data include, but are
not limited to CDC; other Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS)
agencies, such as the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation and the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality; and
associations, such as the American
Association of Homes and Services for
the Aging, National Center for Assisted
Living, American Seniors Housing
Association, Assisted Living Federation
of America; universities; foundations;
and other private sector organizations.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
3,572.
