Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Control
Programs—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Chronic diseases are the leading
causes of death and disability in the
United States, accounting for seven of
every ten deaths and affecting the
quality of life for 90 million Americans.
Chronic diseases represent 83% of all
U.S. health care spending.
The National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP) provides
funding to health departments in States,
territories, and the District of Columbia
to implement and evaluate chronic

disease prevention and control
programs. Traditionally, support has
been provided through cooperative
agreements that are specific to a chronic
disease or condition. In 2009, CDC
announced a new cooperative
agreement program for collaborative
chronic disease prevention and health
promotion programs (RFA DP09–901;
authorized under sections 301, 307, 310,
and 311 of the Public Health Service Act
[42 U.S.C. 241 and 247(b)(k)). The new
program streamlines funding,
communication and collaboration in
four areas that have previously been
funded and evaluated independently:
Tobacco control, diabetes prevention
and control, State-based surveillance
through the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS), and the
Healthy Communities initiative.
Awardees are the 50 States, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands. The new cooperative agreement
encourages each awardee to collaborate
with partners (both internal and
external to the State health department)
to develop and implement a multi-year,
statewide strategic plan.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect
information from the four specified
State programs through a new,
electronic Management Information
System (MIS). Upon approval, the new
information collection system will
replace two previously approved
information collections for tobacco
control programs (OMB No. 0920–0601,
exp. 5/31/2010), and diabetes
prevention and control programs (OMB
No. 0920–0479, exp. 4/30/2013), and
harmonize their content. In addition,
the new MIS will provide a common
progress reporting framework for Statebased BRFSS programs and Healthy
Community programs, which have
previously reported progress
information to CDC using standard
progress reporting forms for cooperative
agreement awardees (OMB No. 4040–
0004, exp. 3/31/2012).
Information will be collected on each
program’s objectives, planning
activities, resources, partnerships,
policy and environmental strategies for
preventing or controlling chronic
diseases, and progress toward meeting
goals. The increased emphasis on
partnership and collaboration is
intended to identify priorities, gaps in
chronic disease prevention and health
promotion activities, and opportunities
to leverage CDC and State (Federal and
non-Federal) resources. Information will
be collected electronically through a
new Management Information System
(MIS). The collection of information, in
a uniform and efficient manner, will
reduce duplicative reporting

requirements for awardees, minimize
respondent burden, facilitate
collaborative efforts and provide
common performance metrics across
program areas. The collaborative
cooperative agreement is part of an
initiative within NCCDPHP to
standardize and streamline the funding
and performance monitoring processes
for programs funded through the Center;
to promote more efficient ways to use
resources; and to achieve greater health
impact. The objectives for awardees,
and the performance indicators defined
for them, reflect CDC’s support for more
integrated approaches to the prevention
and control of chronic conditions.
Awardees will use the information
collection to manage and coordinate
and control strategies implemented by
awardees. CDC will also use the
information collection to respond to
Congressional and stakeholder inquiries
about chronic disease control activities,
program implementation, and program
impact. Finally, the information
collection will allow CDC to evaluate
the success of the collaborative funding
model which places increased emphasis
on partnerships as well as policy and
environmental strategies for preventing
and controlling chronic diseases.
Information will be collected from
each State-based program twice per
year. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
their activities and to improve their
efforts to prevent and control chronic
diseases. The MIS will allow awardees
to fulfill their reporting obligations
under the cooperative agreements in an
efficient manner by employing a single
instrument to collect necessary
information for both progress reports
and continuation applications including
work plans.
CDC will use the information
collected in the MIS to monitor each
awardee’s progress and to make
adjustments, as needed, in the type and
level of technical assistance provided to
them. The information collection will
allow CDC to oversee the use of Federal
funds, and identify and disseminate
information about successful prevention
