record, or other platform.
2. Section 508 Compliance—
Contestants must acknowledge that they
understand that, as a pre-requisite to
any subsequent acquisition by FAR
contract or other method, they are
required to make their proposed
solution compliant with Section 508
accessibility and usability requirements
at their own expense. Any electronic
information technology that is
ultimately obtained by HHS for its use,
development, or maintenance must
meet Section 508 accessibility and
usability standards. Past experience has
demonstrated that it can be costly for
solution-providers to ‘‘retrofit’’
solutions if remediation is later needed.

Proposed Project
‘‘A Professional Development Needs
Assessment to Improve Implementation
of HIV/STD, Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Services’’—New—National Center for
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2010, young people aged 13–24
accounted for 21% of all new HIV
infections in the United States. Nearly
half of the 19 million new sexually
transmitted diseases (STD) reported
each year are among young people aged
15–24. Young people who share certain
demographic characteristics are
disproportionately affected by HIV
infection and other STD. Black and
Latino young men who have sex with
men (YMSM), homeless youth, and
youth enrolled in alternative schools are
particularly vulnerable.
The Nation’s schools can play a
critical role in addressing these
epidemics. After the family, schools are
one of the primary entities responsible
for the development of young people.
To address these needs and
disparities, the National Center for HIV/
a plan can be developed to allow the
contractor to tailor their training and
technical assistance activities to the
specific needs of the service providers
(SEA/LEA).
Findings from this assessment will be
used by ETR, funded NGOs, and CDC–
DASH to plan for and implement
professional development training and
provide technical assistance in the most
effective and efficient manner based on
need and current theory. The CDC will
be able to refine its approach to
conceptualizing and providing
professional development training and
technical assistance to all grantees in
the most cost-effective manner possible.
This activity is being done to obtain
the information needed to develop
appropriate tools such as job aids,
resources, and training to increase the
effectiveness of local and state
education agencies that will be
providing professional development
around HIV prevention in schools and
school districts. These resources will
contribute to efficient and effective HIV
prevention throughout the four
remaining years of the cooperative
agreement.
This needs assessment is being
administered on-line to 36 organizations
(local and state education agencies
[LEA/SEA])in order to craft plans for the
training and technical assistance needed
for them as well as for the priority
schools and school districts they work
with as part of cooperative agreement. It
is voluntary and no personally
identifiable information will be
collected. The total estimated burden for
one administration of this needs
assessment is 36 hours (36 respondents
× 1 hour/response). It is expected that
this needs assessment would be
administered three times in a five year
period to address changing and
emerging needs for training and
technical assistance.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention, Division of Adolescent and
School Health (DASH) through FOA
PS–13–1308 is funding 19 state
education agencies (SEA) and 17 local
education agencies (LEA) to do HIV/
STD teen pregnancy prevention in the
education setting. Under the same
cooperative agreement six NonGovernmental organizations (NGOs) are
being funded to provide professional
development, training and technical
assistance to these 36 agencies in the
major approach areas of Exemplary
Sexual Health Education, Sexual Health
Services and Safe and Supportive
Environments. In addition, a contractor
is being funded to provide assistance
with the development and offering of
professional development training and
technical assistance.
This information collection is
sponsored by CDC as part of the
capacity building for grantees funded
under the cooperative agreement. CDC
has provided guidance and facilitation
in the development of the survey tool
that the contractor will use. This
ensures efficiency and effectiveness and
will minimize the need for multiple
data collection activities by CDC and
ETR as the contractor.
SEA and LEA will be providing
professional development training and
technical assistance to school districts
and schools. Time is very limited to
access school personnel and it is critical
that this training and technical
assistance be provided in the most
effective and efficient manner. To meet
these needs, DASH has funded a
contractor, ETR Associates, through
contract # 200–2013–F–57593 to
develop a training plan designed to raise
the capacity of all funded agencies in
the area of professional development.
The contract requires a needs
assessment to gauge the skill level and
needs of the funded agencies.
The contractor, ETR, will conduct an
organizational needs assessment so that

Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for
the Rape Prevention and Education
Program Awardees—NEW—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Sexual violence is a major public
health problem. According CDC’s
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Survey (NISVS, OMB# 0920–
0822), in the United States, nearly 1 in
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:14 Apr 09, 2014
Jkt 232001
5 women and 1 in 71 men have been
raped in their lifetime, while 1 in 2
women and 1 in 5 men have
experienced severe sexual violence
victimization other than rape at some
point in their lives, with the majority of
victimization starting early in life.
According to NISVS, approximately
80% of female victims experienced their
first rape before the age of 25 and almost
half experienced the first rape before age
18. Among male victims, 28% were first
raped when they were 10 year old or
younger. NISVS also found that early
sexual victimization increases women’s
risk of adult victimization:
Approximately 35% of women who
were raped as minors were also raped as
adults compared to 14% of women
without an early rape history.
State health departments and the
community-based organizations funded
to implement sexual violence
prevention strategies have variable,
often low, levels of capacity and
infrastructure to engage in program
improvement and systematically collect
data about sexual violence as well as the
prevention strategies they are
implementing. Historically, some health
departments and funded communitybased organizations have not had
adequate resources to support a fulltime staff person to deliver and
implement prevention strategies.
Additionally, while sexual violence
prevention practitioners have
undergone a sea change and expanded
their focus from raising awareness of the
problem to implementing primary
prevention strategies, improved
implementation based on best-available
practices in prevention is still needed.
CDC, through the Rape Prevention
and Education (RPE) Program, supports
sexual violence prevention by
implementing primary prevention
strategies using a public health
approach and effective prevention
principles. The current cooperative
agreement will advance this goal by
supporting RPE funded organizations to
implement sexual violence prevention
strategies that adhere to general
principles of effective prevention
strategies. These principles include:
Addressing modifiable risk and
protective factors for perpetration and
victimization, addressing multiple
levels of the social ecology, emphasizing
primary prevention, having sufficient
dosage or intensity, being culturally
relevant, being developed and
implemented with stakeholders and
based on best available evidence.
Additionally, it aims to improve
program evaluation infrastructure and
capacity at the state level.
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

In order to accomplish these goals, the
program strategy involves the focused
implementation of three main
components:
Æ Component 1—Implementation and
program evaluation of sexual violence
(SV) prevention strategies using a public
health approach (this includes
expectations that program evaluation
activities are conducted at the state
level.
Æ Component 2—Provision of
Training and Technical Assistance to
RPE funded organizations on the
implementation of SV prevention
strategies.
Æ Component 3—Participation in
program support activities.
The primary outcome of interest is the
improved ability of RPE funded
organizations to use the public health
approach and effective prevention
principles to implement and evaluate
sexual violence prevention strategies.
CDC seeks a 3-year Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to collect information
electronically from awardees funded
under the RPE cooperative agreement.
Information will be collected from RPE
awardees through an electronic data
management information system; the
Rape Prevention and Education
Management Information System (RPE–
MIS). The RPE–MIS will be used to
collect information about the staffing
resources dedicated by each awardee, as
well as partnerships with external
organizations. The RPE–MIS requires
awardees to define their program
objectives in action-oriented SMART
(Specific, Measurable, Achievable,
Relevant, and Time-Framed) format,
identify their target population and
associated strategies citing the best
available evidence and data sources,
establish the link between their
objectives, chosen strategies and the
target population, and provide
quantifiable performance measures
associated with the chosen strategies.
Information collected through the RPE–
MIS will be used to inform performance
monitoring, and program evaluation.
Anticipated respondents are a
maximum of 55 awardees for the RPE
Program. All respondents will be state
and territorial health departments or
designated personnel from their partner
sexual assault coalitions. The time
commitments for data entry and training
are greatest during the initial population
of the RPE–MIS, typically in the first six
months of implementation. Estimated
burden for the first-time population of
the RPE–MIS is fifteen hours. Annual
Reporting is estimated at three hours per
respondent.
