The purpose of CMEP is to improve the performance of CDC-funded CBOs delivering particular individual- or group-level behavioral interventions. This is done by monitoring changes in clients’ self-reported HIV transmission risk behaviors after participating in the intervention. CMEP also assesses the fidelity of the implementation of the selected intervention at the CBO. The project also plans to conduct process monitoring of the delivery of the intervention in terms of recruitment, retention, and data collection, entry, and management. Four CBOs will receive supplemental funding under PS 10–1003 over a five-year period to participate in CMEP–WILLOW. From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2015, CBOs will conduct outcome and process monitoring for this project. Each agency will recruit 400 women living with HIV who are 18 years of age and older, have known their positive HIV status for at least 6 months, and are enrolled in the WILLOW intervention to participate in CMEP–WILLOW. Each participant will complete a 20 minute, self administered, computer based interview prior to their participation in the WILLOW intervention and an 18 minute, self administered, computer based interview at two follow-up time points (90- and 180-days following the WILLOW intervention) to assess their HIV-related attitudes and behavioral risks. CBOs will be expected to retain 80% of these participants at both follow-up interviews. Throughout the project, funded CBOs will be responsible for managing the daily procedures of CMEP–WILLOW to ensure that all required activities are performed, all deadlines are met, and quality assurance plans, policies and procedures are upheld. CBOs will be responsible for participating in all CDCsponsored grantee meetings related to CMEP–WILLOW. The total estimated annual burden hours are 338.

These MSAs are: District of Columbia; Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; New York City, NY; and San Francisco, CA. The purpose of this new data collection activity is to monitor community-level outcomes of ECHPP and supplement HIV surveillance data routinely collected in these areas. Outcome data will be collected in these MSAs at two time points from 2011 to 2014. Two surveys will be used in this project: (1) A community-based survey to be administered to injection drug users and high-risk heterosexuals, and (2) a clinic-based survey to be administered to HIV-positive individuals seeking care at clinics that provide HIV-related services. Both surveys will collect data on demographics, sexual behavior, alcohol and drug use history, HIV testing experiences, exposure to HIV prevention messages, and participation in HIV prevention activities. The clinic survey will also include questions about HIV treatment, treatment adherence, sources of care, and medical outcomes. For the community survey, we intend to recruit and screen 1500 injection drug users and 1500 high-risk heterosexuals using venue-based, convenience sampling methods. For the clinic survey, we intend to recruit and screen 2400 HIV-positive individuals seeking HIV care at medical clinics. A total of 1200 eligible injection drug users (age ≥ 18 yrs), 1200 eligible high-risk heterosexuals (age 18 to 60 yrs), and 2400 eligible HIV-positive individuals (age ≥ 18 yrs) will be surveyed. CDC will collaborate with local health department staff and outreach workers in each MSA to identify venues and clinics appropriate for data collection. Surveys will be administered by trained, local interviewers. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.

[FR Doc. 2011–7888 Filed 4–1–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163–18–P Background and Brief Description The scope of the HIV epidemic in the United States is significant, particularly in large urban areas where HIV/AIDS cases are concentrated. In 2006, approximately 56,000 new HIV infections occurred in the U.S., demonstrating the need to expand targeted HIV prevention efforts. In 2010, twelve U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) received funding, through their city and state health departments, to conduct the Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning (ECHPP) project. These twelve MSAs (Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; District of Columbia; Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; San Francisco, CA; and San Juan, PR) had the highest AIDS prevalence rates in the U.S. at the end of 2007, representing 44% of all U.S. AIDS cases. The purpose of ECHPP is to enhance existing HIV prevention services in these high prevalence areas and provide an optimal mix of evidence-based behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions to have maximum impact on the HIV/AIDS epidemic at the community level. ECHPP goals are consistent with CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention Strategic Plan for HIV Prevention and with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy: (1) Prevent new HIV infections, (2) increase linkage to, and impact of, prevention and care services for HIVpositive individuals, and (3) reduce HIV-related health disparities. To evaluate ECHPP, data will be collected through both existing CDC data sources and through new data collection activities. Existing CDC data sources will include HIV surveillance systems (e.g., National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, Medical Monitoring Project) that routinely collect information about behavioral and clinical outcomes from at-risk target populations in the 12 MSAs.

Proposed Project

    Community-based Organization (CBO) Monitoring and Evaluation 
Project (CMEP) of Women Involved in Life Learning from Other Women 
(WILLOW)--New--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and 
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP)

Background and Brief Description

    CDC began formally partnering with CBOs in the late 1980s to expand 
the reach of HIV prevention efforts. CBOs were, and continue to be, 
recognized as important partners in HIV prevention because of their 
history and credibility with target populations and their access to 
groups that may not be easily reached. Over time, CDC's program for HIV 
prevention by CBOs has grown in size, scope, and complexity to respond 
to changes in the epidemic, including the diffusion and implementation 
of Effective Behavioral Interventions (EBIs) for HIV prevention. Women 
Involved in Life Learning from Other Women (WILLOW) is an EBI that 
focuses on health education and social skills building among women 
living with HIV.
    CDC's EBIs have been shown to be effective under controlled 
research environments, but there is limited data on intervention 
implementation and client outcomes in real-world settings (as 
implemented by CDC-funded CBOs). The purpose of CMEP is to improve the 
performance of CDC-funded CBOs delivering particular individual- or 
group-level behavioral interventions. This is done by monitoring 
changes in clients' self-reported HIV transmission risk behaviors after 
participating in the intervention. CMEP also assesses the fidelity of 
the implementation of the selected intervention at the CBO. The project 
also plans to conduct process monitoring of the delivery of the 
intervention in terms of recruitment, retention, and data collection, 
entry, and management. Four CBOs will receive supplemental funding 
under PS 10-1003 over a five-year period to participate in CMEP-WILLOW.
    From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2015, CBOs will conduct outcome and 
process monitoring for this project. Each agency will recruit 400 women 
living with HIV who are 18 years of age and older, have known their 
positive HIV status for at least 6 months, and are enrolled in the 
WILLOW intervention to participate in CMEP-WILLOW. Each participant 
will complete a 20 minute, self administered, computer based interview 
prior to their participation in the WILLOW intervention and an 18 
minute, self administered, computer based interview at two follow-up 
time points (90- and 180-days following the WILLOW intervention) to 
assess their HIV-related attitudes and behavioral risks. CBOs will be 
expected to retain 80% of these participants at both follow-up 
interviews.
    Throughout the project, funded CBOs will be responsible for 
managing the daily procedures of CMEP-WILLOW to ensure that all 
required activities are performed, all deadlines are met, and quality 
assurance plans, policies and procedures are upheld. CBOs will be 
responsible for participating in all CDC-sponsored grantee meetings 
related to CMEP-WILLOW. The total estimated annual burden hours are 
338.
