Subject of Challenge Competition
The 2009 H1N1 outbreak yielded a
widespread acknowledgement of the
need for respiratory protection as an
essential line of defense for workers.
Confusion among stakeholders and
respirator users of important facts
relative to respiratory protection was the
main driver that led to the development
of the NIOSH Respirator Trusted-Source
Web page.
The NIOSH Respirator Trusted-Source
Web page is the one stop resource to get
reliable respirator information. The Web
site is: https://knowits.niosh.gov. The
Web site includes content to address
three specific sections of information as
follows: (1) Information on
understanding the various types of
respirators, how to identify approved
models, and outlets for purchase; (2)
Information on how to implement the
use of respirators in the workplace and
use them appropriately; (3) Ancillary
respirator information, such as,
commonly asked questions and
answers, respirator myths, science of
respirator function and performance,
and respiratory protective devices not
approved by NIOSH.
In this challenge, CDC/NIOSH is
seeking an app that will be used by the
public to query the NIOSH trusted
source site https://knowits.niosh.gov for
specific criteria and display all relevant
information on the Web page in an easy
to view format on a mobile device. The
app should be capable of conducting
searches of all information on the Web
site and providing all the info relevant
to the criteria selected for display. The
purpose of this app is to query the site
for specific criteria and display it in an
easy to view format.
In addition to providing the app or a
link to the app, contestants should:
(1) Upload a brief slide presentation
that describes your entry. Slide decks
should be in .PDF format, and contain
a maximum of 10 slides. We strongly
recommend you explain how you
addressed the evaluation criteria and
the key features of the product as they
relate to the challenge.
(a) Narrative: One of the slides in the
presentation should be a narrative
explaining how the app is intended to
work.
(2) Provide a link to a 4-minute demo
video showing your application in
action. Post videos to video-sharing sites
like YouTube.
(3) Mobile application must be
Section 508-compliant. For information
on Section 508-compliance, and tools
for implementation, visit:
www.section508.gov.
(4) App must be accessible on a
mobile hand-held device.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

(5) Neither the CDC name nor CDC
logo will be used in the app or the icon
for the app.
(6) The first place prize winner will
provide paths to download the app from
app stores as a free app.
(7) The first place prize winner will
provide technical support for 1 year
after the award at no cost to HHS/CDC/
NIOSH. The scope of the technical
support is to fix any malfunctions that
may come up during the app being used
by stakeholders.
(8) All videos and presentations must
be submitted in English.
(9) Videos should not include
endorsements of private products,
services, or enterprises.
(10) Videos containing profane

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
National Hospital Organ Donation
Campaign’s Activity Scorecard
OMB No.: 0915–xxxx—NEW
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA’s Healthcare
Systems Bureau, Division of
Transplantation, administers the
Workplace Partnership for Life program
under the authority of Section 377A(a)
of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act,
(42 U.S.C. 274f–1). The Workplace
Partnership for Life program seeks to
increase the number of registered organ,
eye, and tissue donors and to increase
awareness about organ donation. HRSA
launched a challenge to hospitals
nationwide to assist in this effort by
conducting donor education and donor
registry enrollment events in their
hospitals and communities. The
nation’s 58 organ procurement
organizations (OPOs), who already work
with hospitals on clinical aspects of
transplantation, are invited to
participate in HRSA’s National Hospital
Organ Donation Campaign to increase
the number of enrollments in state
donor registries. The Campaign supports
OPOs by providing communications
materials, facilitating the sharing of best
practices, leveraging the influence of
national associations and organizations
related to hospitals and organ donation,
and offering the additional incentive of
national-level recognition to hospitals.
The National Hospital Organ
Donation Campaign’s Activity Scorecard
is one piece of this campaign. A
campaign leadership committee
comprised of representatives from
OPOs, Donate Life America (DLA)
affiliates, and hospitals helped
conceptualize the Activity Scorecard,
which is based on the committee’s
experience of hospital receptivity to
competition and the opportunity to be
recognized among their peers. The
Activity Scorecard provides hospitals,
which wish to participate in the
campaign, with ideas for outreach
activities. Each activity on the
programmable PDF is assigned a
particular number of points based on
the activity’s potential for generating
registrations.
Hospitals can complete the Activity
Scorecard and submit it via email or fax
to HRSA or to their OPO or DLA. This
is a voluntary activity. Hospitals may
participate in the campaign without
using the Activity Scorecard. HRSA
anticipates that most hospitals enrolled
in the campaign (currently 802) will
submit a completed Activity Scorecard
once a year.
