SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Since 1997, the Office of Public
Health Genomics (OPHG) of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) has worked to integrate genomics
into public health research, policy, and
programs, which could improve
interventions designed to prevent and
control the country’s leading chronic,
infectious, environmental, and
occupational diseases. OPHG’s efforts
focus on conducting population-based

genomic research, assessing the role of
family health history in disease risk and
prevention, supporting a systematic
process for evaluating genetic tests,
translating genomics into public health
research and programs, and
strengthening capacity for public health
genomics in disease prevention
programs. OPHG engages many partners
to identify opportunities and challenges
for using genomics to impact population
health, by addressing important public
health issues and improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of public
health programs.
II. Request for Comments, Data, and
Other Information
To help inform the assessment
process and strategically plan for the
next five years, HHS/CDC is requesting
public input to the following questions
on public health genomics: (1) What are
the most important activities that
should be carried out by the public
health system in 2012–2017 to apply
genomic knowledge to public health
goals? (2) What outcomes specific to
public health might be achieved as the
result of carrying out these activities? (3)
What policies are needed in order to
achieve these outcomes? (4) What
institutions, organizations and agencies
need to participate in achieving these
outcomes and what roles should they
play? (5) What barriers are anticipated
in achieving these outcomes and how
might they best be overcome?
III. Submission of Comments
Interested persons may submit
comments, data, and information (see
ADDRESSES) either electronically or
written regarding this request.
Submitted comments will be available
for public review from Monday through
Friday, except for legal holidays, from 9
a.m. until 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time,
at 1600 Clifton Road NE., Atlanta,
Georgia 30333. Please call ahead to 404–

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of Tribal Health
Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG).
OMB No.: New collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing information collection
activities as part of the Evaluation of the
Tribal Health Profession Opportunity
Grants (HPOG) (HHS–2010–ACF–OFA–
FY–0124). Through this information
collection, ACF seeks to conduct a
comprehensive process and outcome
evaluation to provide documentation
and lessons learned about diverse
programmatic approaches to health
professions trainings for Tribal
populations.
The goals of the Tribal HPOG
evaluation are to: (1) Provide an indepth, systematic analysis of program
structure, implementation and outcomes
of the sites served by the five Tribal
HPOG grantees funded in FY 2010, and
(2) compare these data within and
across grantees to generate hypotheses
about the effectiveness of different
program approaches for Tribal
populations.
Both of these goals require collecting
information from Tribal HPOG grantees
and other program stakeholders on an
annual basis for three years. The
information collection will include data
gathered through in-person and
telephone interviews and focus groups.
Program operations data related to this
effort will be collected through a Web
based performance reporting system
under a separate information collection
(the Federal Register Notice for this
information collection was published in
Vol. 76, No. 18, January 27, 2011, page
4912).
Respondents: Respondents to the
Grantee and Partner Administrative
Staff interview will be the
administrators of the Tribal HPOG
program, workforce development and
TANF agencies, public and private
university-based partners, and not-for
profit organizations. Respondents to the
Program Implementation Staff interview
will be instructors, trainers, and
providers of program or supportive
services. Respondents to the Employers
interview will be local or regional
employers at public or private
companies or organizations that are
partnering with the Tribal HPOG
program or have employed program
participants. Respondents to the
Program Participant focus groups or
interviews will be current program
participants. Interviews will be
conducted in lieu of focus groups with
program participants at secondary
implementation sites (additional
locations where the Tribal HPOG
program are being implemented) in the
middle data collection year.
Respondents to the Program Completers
interview will be program completers.
Respondents to the Program Noncompleters interview will be
individuals who did not complete the
programs.
