Finally, the Committee will be asked to provide recommendations on the overall Head Start research agenda, including—but not limited to— how the Head Start Impact Study fits within this agenda. The Committee will provide advice regarding future research efforts to inform HHS about how to guide the development and implementation of best practices in Head Start and other early childhood programs around the country. The Department will give close attention to equitable geographic distribution and to minority and gender representation in making appointments to the Committee, so long as the effectiveness of the Committee is not diminished.

Proposed Project HIV Prevention Program Evaluation and Monitoring System for Health Departments and Community-Based Organizations (PEMS)—Revision— (OMB No. 0920–0696 exp. 8/31/2010)— National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This is a revision of a data collection that is being incrementally implemented. The currently approved collection under the HIV Prevention Program Evaluation and Monitoring System for Health Departments and Community-Based Organizations (PEMS, 0920–0696) was approved on August 22, 2007, for three years (until August 31, 2010). This revision includes a request to change the title to ‘‘National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E) Data’’. The purpose of this request is to collect standardized HIV prevention program monitoring and evaluation data from health department and communitybased organization (CBO) grantees. Standardized data on agencies, program plans, HIV testing, health education/risk reduction, health communication/ public information, and partner services has begun during the three years of the previous approval. Analysis and reporting of these data to stakeholders, including HHS and Congress, has also begun and the intent is to continue both data collection and reporting on an ongoing basis. Per HIV prevention cooperative agreements, CDC requires non- identifying, client-level, standardized evaluation data from health department and CBO grantees to: (1) More accurately determine the extent to which HIV prevention efforts have been carried out, what types of agencies are providing services, what resources are allocated to those services, to whom services are being provided, and how these efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission; (2) improve ease of reporting to better meet these data needs; and (3) be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of efforts made and use of funds in HIV prevention nationwide. Although CDC received evaluation data from grantees prior to the PEMS, the data received previously were insufficient for evaluation and accountability. Furthermore, there was not standardization of required evaluation data from both health departments and CBOs. Changes to the evaluation and reporting process were necessary to ensure CDC receives standardized, accurate, thorough evaluation data from both health department and CBO grantees. For these reasons, CDC developed the PEMS (now NHM&E) variables through consultation with representatives from health departments, CBOs, and national partners (e.g., The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS Prevention Services, and National Minority AIDS Council). Respondents will collect, enter, and report general agency information, program model and budget data, and client demographics and behavioral risk characteristics. (Data collection will include searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data, document compilation, review of data, and data entry.) Agencies will submit data quarterly. There are no costs to respondents. The total estimated annual burden hours are 298,660.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1243. Project: Targeted Capacity Expansion Program for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services (TCE–HIV)—NEW This data collection is to study the risk and protective factors related to substance use and HIV. The primary purpose of the Project is to conceptualize, plan, and implement a multi-site valuation to investigate the process, outcome, and effect of substance abuse treatment and HIV/ AIDS services provided by 48 SAMHSA grantees. The grantees’ focus is on enhancing and expanding substance abuse treatment and/or outreach and pretreatment services in conjunction with HIV/AIDS services in African American, Hispanic/Latino, and other racial and ethnic minority communities. A multi-stage approach has been used to develop the appropriate theoretical framework, conceptual model, evaluation design and protocols, and data collection instrumentation. Process and outcome measures have been developed to fully capture community and contextual conditions, the scope of the TCE–HIV Grantee program implementation and activities, and client outcomes. A mixed-method approach (survey, semi-structured interviews, focus groups) will be used, for example, to examine collaborative community linkages established between grantees and other service providers (e.g., primary health care, medical services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, substance abuse recovery support services), determine which program models and what type and amount of client exposure to services contribute to significant changes in substance abuse and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors of the targeted populations, and determine the impact of the TCE– HIV services on providers, clients, and communities. The process data collection for the project will be conducted bi-annually (i.e., every other year during the 4-year period) and the client outcome data collection is ongoing throughout the project and will be collected at baseline/ intake, discharge and 6 months post baseline/intake for all treatment clients. The respondents are clinic-based social workers and counselors (e.g., social workers, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, licensed clinical professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers), clinic-based administrators and clinic-based clients.
