Proposed Project Community-based Organization Monitoring and Evaluation of Respect (OMB No.0920–0895 exp. 8/31/2014)— Revision—National Center for HIV/ AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC began formally partnering with Community-based Organizations (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. 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 Community-based Organization Monitoring and Evaluation of Respect (CMEP-Respect) is to: (a) Assess the fidelity of the implementation of the selected intervention at the CBO; and (b) improve the performance of CDCfunded CBOs delivering the Respect intervention by monitoring changes in clients’ self-reported attitudes and beliefs regarding HIV and HIV transmission risk behaviors after participating in Respect. CDC funded four (4) CBOs to participate in CMEP-Respect for five (5) years (September 2010-August 2015).

CDC is requesting additional time to complete follow up surveys at 90- and 180-days for participants completing the intervention on or before August 31, 2014. Following their participation in the Respect intervention, participants will complete an 18 minute, self administered, computer based interview at two follow-up time points (90- and 180-days following the Respect intervention) to assess their HIV-related attitudes and behavioral risks. CBOs will be expected to retain 80% of these participants at both follow-up time points. Throughout the project, funded CBOs will be responsible for managing the daily procedures of CMEP-Respect 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-Respect. Findings from this project will be primarily used by the participating CBOs. The CBOs may use the findings to: (a) Better understand if the outcomes are different across demographic and behavioral risk groups as well as agency and program model characteristics; and (b) improve the future implementation, management, and quality of Respect. CDC and other organizations interested in behavioral outcome monitoring of Respect or similar HIV prevention interventions can also benefit from lessons learned through this project. In this request, CDC is requesting approval for approximately 200 burden hours. There is no cost to respondents except for their time.

Background and Brief Description Section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states that aliens with specific health related conditions are ineligible for admission into the United States. The Attorney General may waive application of this inadmissibility on health-related grounds if an application for waiver is filed and approved by the consular office considering the application for visa. CDC uses this application primarily to collect information to establish and maintain records of waiver applicants in order to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when terms, conditions and controls imposed by waiver are not met.

Proposed Project

    Community-based Organization Monitoring and Evaluation of Respect 
(OMB No.0920-0895 exp. 8/31/2014)--Revision--National Center for HIV/
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC began formally partnering with Community-based Organizations 
(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.
    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 Community-based 
Organization Monitoring and Evaluation of Respect (CMEP-Respect) is to: 
(a) Assess the fidelity of the implementation of the selected 
intervention at the CBO; and (b) improve the performance of CDC-funded 
CBOs delivering the Respect intervention by monitoring changes in 
clients' self-reported attitudes and beliefs regarding HIV and HIV 
transmission risk behaviors after participating in Respect.
    CDC funded four (4) CBOs to participate in CMEP-Respect for five 
(5) years (September 2010-August 2015). From September 1, 2012 through 
January 31, 2014, baseline surveys were conducted with 684 
participants; 90-day follow up surveys were completed with 459 
participants, and 180-day follow up surveys were completed with 343 
participants.
    CDC is requesting additional time to complete follow up surveys at 
90- and 180-days for participants completing the intervention on or 
before August 31, 2014. Following their participation in the Respect 
intervention, participants will complete an 18 minute, self 
administered, computer based interview at two follow-up time points 
(90- and 180-days following the Respect intervention) to assess their 
HIV-related attitudes and behavioral risks. CBOs will be expected to

    Throughout the project, funded CBOs will be responsible for 
managing the daily procedures of CMEP-Respect to ensure that all 
required activities are performed, all deadlines are met, and quality 
assurance plans, policies and procedures are upheld. CBOs will be
