Download as PDF 42324 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 139 / Monday, July 21, 2014 / Notices emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES they were produced, including any code if applicable. The processes can be submitted in text document. In order for an entry to be eligible to win this Challenge, it must meet the following requirements: 1. Acceptable platforms—The tool must be designed for use with existing Web, mobile Web, electronic health record, or other platform. 2. Section 508 Compliance— Contestants must acknowledge that they understand that, as a prerequisite 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. The HHS Section 508 Evaluation Product Assessment Template, available at https://www. hhs.gov/od/vendors/, provides a useful roadmap for developers to review. It is a simple, web-based checklist utilized by HHS officials to allow vendors to document how their products do or do not meet the various Section 508 requirements. 3. No HHS or OBMT logo—The app must not use HHS’ or OBMT’s logos or official seals in the Submission, and must not claim endorsement. 4. Functionality/Accuracy—A submission may be disqualified if it fails to function as expressed in the description provided by the user, or if it provides inaccurate or incomplete information. 5. Security—Submissions must be free of malware. Contestant agrees that OBMT may conduct testing on the app to determine whether malware or other security threats may be present. OBMT may disqualify the Submission if, in OBMT’s judgment, the app may damage government or others’ equipment or operating environment. Additional Information General Conditions: OBMT reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify the Contest, or any part of it, for any reason, at OBMT’s sole discretion. Intellectual Property • Each entrant retains full ownership and title in and to their submission. Entrants expressly reserve all intellectual property rights not expressly granted under the challenge agreement. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:14 Jul 18, 2014 Jkt 232001 • By participating in the challenge, each entrant hereby irrevocably grants to OBMT a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license and right to reproduce, publically perform, publically display, and use the submission for internal HHS business and to the extent necessary to administer the challenge, and to publically perform and publically display the Submission, including, without limitation, for advertising and promotional purposes relating to the challenge.

The Key Questions

Question 1

programs implemented in a community health setting effective compared 
with usual or standard care, or active comparators in, a) improving 
behavioral, clinical, and health outcomes, b) improving diabetes-
related health care utilization, and c) achieving program acceptability 
as measured by participant attrition rates?

Question 2

    For patients with T1DM, do behavioral programs implemented in the 
community health setting differ in effectiveness for behavioral, 
clinical, and health outcomes, their effect on diabetes-related health 
care utilization, or program acceptability, for subgroups of patients 
based on: Age (i.e., children and adolescents [<=18 years] and their 
families, young adults [19-30 years], adults [31-64 years], older 
adults [>=65 years]); race or ethnicity; socioeconomic status (e.g., 
family income, education level, literacy); time since diagnosis (i.e., 
<=1 year vs. >1 year); and, level of glycemic control (e.g., HbA1c <7 
vs. >=7 percent)?

Question 3

    For patients with T1DM, does the effectiveness of behavioral 
programs differ based on the: (a) Components; (b) intensity (i.e., 
program duration, frequency/periodicity of interactions); (b) delivery 
personnel (e.g., dietitian, exercise specialist, physician, nurse 
practitioner, certified diabetes educator, lay health worker); (c) 
method of communication (e.g., individual vs. group, face-to-face, 
interactive behavior change technology, social media); (d) degree of 
tailoring based on needs assessment (e.g., educational/behavioral 
deficits, age or other demographics, readiness to change); or (e) level 
and nature of community engagement?

Question 4

    For patients with T1DM, what are the associated harms (i.e., 
activity-related injury) of behavioral programs implemented in a 
community health setting compared with usual care, standard care, or 
active comparators?

Question 5

    Among behavioral programs targeted at adults with Type 2 Diabetes 
Mellitus (T2DM) implemented in a community health setting, what factors 
contribute to: (a) Their effectiveness for behavioral, clinical, and 
health outcomes; (b) their effect on diabetes-related health care 
utilization; and (c) program acceptability as measured by participant 
attrition rates? Factors include program components, program intensity, 
delivery personnel, methods of delivery and communication, degree of 
tailoring, and community engagement.

Question 6

    Do the factors that contribute to program effectiveness for 
patients with T2DM vary across the following subpopulations: Age (i.e., 
young adults [19-30 years], adults [31-64 years], older adults [>=65 
years]); race or ethnicity; socioeconomic status (e.g., family income, 
education level, literacy); time since diagnosis (i.e., <=1 year vs. >1 
year); and, level of glycemic control (i.e., HbA1c <7 vs. >=7 percent)?
