following information should be
included in the package of material
submitted for each individual being
nominated for consideration: (1) A letter
of nomination that clearly states the
name and affiliation of the nominee, the
basis for the nomination (i.e., specific

The Standards of Ethical Conduct for
Employees of the Executive Branch are
applicable to individuals who are
appointed as public members of Federal
advisory committees. Individuals

Federal advisory committees are
classified as special Government
employees (SGEs). SGEs are
Government employees for purposes of
the conflict of interest laws. Therefore,
individuals appointed to serve as public

ethics review. The ethics review is
conducted to determine if the
individual has any interests and/or
activities in the private sector that may
conflict with performance of their
official duties as a member of the

Proposed Project
‘‘So What? Telling a Compelling
Story’’ Template—New—Office of
Public Health Preparedness and
Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Background: Stories are difficult to
gather and track; therefore, OPHPR must
use a creative method to collect relevant
stories on the impacts of the Public
Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP)
grant in state and local health
departments and at the community
level. Several resources and tools exist
within CDC and partner organizations to
share stories but the stories tend to be
dated or already used in another
capacity. OPHPR must be proactive in
leveraging this template to collect new,
timely anecdotes, described as ‘‘leads’’
in the rest of this notice, versus full
stories, in order to describe the current
successes and challenges public health
officials face implementing the PHEP
grant and associated activities.
CDC requests Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval to collect
information for three years.
Description: The storytelling template
is a single page, double-sided guide for
storytellers, described as ‘‘sources’’ in
the remainder of this notice. With this
tool, developers intend to dramatically
reduce the burden on respondents and
employees who may otherwise engage
in complete story development with
each new event. In this manner, staff
may tease out pertinent and timely leads
for potential development at a later date
based on the needs of leadership.
Development of a complete story from
this template will occur with a small
percentage of the leads. The text
specifically requested is the source’s
name, telephone number, email address,
organization, job title, the topic of the

compelling story, a headline, and up to
three key bullet points. The intent of
this template is to guide the
development of bullets and headlines
describing successes, impacts, and other
funding-related activities.
The goals of these leads are shaped by
four topics:
1. Showcasing the nature of the
preparedness and response challenge:
Something observed at ground level that
clearly illustrates why preparedness and
response work is necessary.
2. Illustrating the public health
contribution: Examples that prove
public health preparedness and
department directors, preparedness
planners, non-public health
preparedness and response partners, the
public and volunteer group members.
The developers plan to leverage existing
communications channels if the leads
are used or developed into more lengthy
stories. Just as stories are used currently,
leads from this template will be
potentially used in congressional
inquiries, leadership presentations,
annual reports, and CDC OPHPR Web
sites.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
response not only makes a difference,
but also describe the unique approach
public health brings to emergency
response.
3. Supporting the evidence-base:
Examples that compliment qualitative
research on evidence based
interventions.
4. Demonstrating return on
investment: Leads describing awareness
of how funds are used and
demonstrating fiscal responsibility and
transparency. OPHPR representatives
intend to collect story leads from a
variety of sources including CDC Field
Staff, state health officers, local health

initiative, funded by the Children’s
Bureau (CB) within ACF, is intended to
build the evidence base for innovative
interventions that enhance well-being
and improve permanency outcomes for
particular groups of children and youth
who are at risk for long-term foster care
and who experience the most serious
barriers to timely permanency. The CB
funded six grantees to identify local
barriers to permanent placement and
implement innovative strategies that
mitigate or eliminate those barriers and
reduce the likelihood that children will
remain in foster care for 3 years or
longer. In addition, evaluation plans
were developed to support rigorous sitespecific and cross-site studies to
document the implementation and
effectiveness of the grantees’ projects
and the initiative overall.
Data collection for the PII evaluation
includes a number of components being
launched at different points in time.
Phase 1 included data collection for a
cross-site implementation evaluation
and site-specific evaluations of two PII
grantees (Washoe County, Nevada, and
the State of Kansas). Phase 1 data
collection was approved in August 2012
(OMB #0970–0408). Phase 2 includes
data collection for site-specific
evaluations of two PII grantees: Illinois
Department of Children and Family
Services (DCFS); and the Los Angeles
Gay and Lesbian Center’s Recognize
Intervene Support Empower (RISE)
project. A third phase of the study will
include data collection for a cross-site
cost study, additional data collection
components for the RISE project, and
data collection for California
Department of Social Services’
California Partnership for Permanency
(CAPP) project. Data for the evaluations
will be collected through surveys of
children, youth, foster parents,
guardians, biological parents, and
caseworkers and other agency staff.
Respondents: Children/youth and
their parents or foster caregivers,
caseworkers and other agency staff.

Proposed Project
``So What? Telling a Compelling Story'' Template--New--Office of
Public Health Preparedness and Response (OPHPR), Centers for Disease

Background and Brief Description
Background: Stories are difficult to gather and track; therefore,
OPHPR must use a creative method to collect relevant stories on the
impacts of the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) grant in
state and local health departments and at the community level. Several
resources and tools exist within CDC and partner organizations to share

staff may tease out pertinent and timely leads for potential
development at a later date based on the needs of leadership.
Development of a complete story from this template will occur with a
small percentage of the leads. The text specifically requested is the
source's name, telephone number, email address, organization, job
title, the topic of the
[[Page 31941]]
compelling story, a headline, and up to three key bullet points. The
intent of this template is to guide the development of bullets and
headlines describing successes, impacts, and other funding-related
activities.
The goals of these leads are shaped by four topics:
1. Showcasing the nature of the preparedness and response
challenge: Something observed at ground level that clearly illustrates
why preparedness and response work is necessary.
2. Illustrating the public health contribution: Examples that prove
public health preparedness and response not only makes a difference,

3. Supporting the evidence-base: Examples that compliment
qualitative research on evidence based interventions.
4. Demonstrating return on investment: Leads describing awareness
of how funds are used and demonstrating fiscal responsibility and
transparency. OPHPR representatives intend to collect story leads from
a variety of sources including CDC Field Staff, state health officers,
local health department directors, preparedness planners, non-public
health preparedness and response partners, the public and volunteer
group members. The developers plan to leverage existing communications
channels if the leads are used or developed into more lengthy stories.
Just as stories are used currently, leads from this template will be
potentially used in congressional inquiries, leadership presentations,
annual reports, and CDC OPHPR Web sites.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
