likely to die from AIDS, and there is
little tracking of the HIV epidemic and
outcomes in adolescents.
We propose a study of males aged 15–
29 years at risk for HIV. The SCC
@TropMed, the clinical site of the
activity, is a Clinical Research Site
(CRS) and that conducts HIV prevention
research in network clinical trials
supported by National Institute of
Health (NIH). The data will be collected
from young MSM and TGW in Bangkok,
Thailand through the CRS that serves
MSM and transgender women (TGW).
Although there are other MSM and
TGW clinic settings in Bangkok, there is
no cohort data providing information on
incidence and risk factors for HIV
incidence in the young. Therefore, this
study also includes a longitudinal
assessment (cohort) to assess HIV and
sexually transmitted infection incidence
and prevalence. This study also
includes a qualitative component to
assess adolescent and key leaders HIV
prevention knowledge and practices. A
study of young men at risk in Thailand
is urgently needed to provide needed
data to assess and implement
prevention strategies and inform
policies for HIV prevention in Thailand,
as well as globally. There is no cost to
participants other than their time.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 814.

following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for

following: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) Minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and (e) Assess information
collection costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy

Proposed Project
Prevention Research Centers Program
National Evaluation Reporting System
(OMB No. 0920–0650, exp. 5/31/2016)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1984, Congress passed Public Law
98–551 directing the Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS) to
establish Centers for Research and
Development of Health Promotion and
Disease Prevention. In 1986, the CDC
received lead responsibility for this
program, referred to as the Prevention
Research Centers (PRC) Program. PRC
Program awardees are managed as a
CDC cooperative agreement with awards
made for five years.
In 2013, the CDC published program
announcement DP14–001 for the current
PRC Program funding cycle (September
30, 2014–September 29, 2019). Twentysix PRCs were selected through a
competitive, external, peer-review
process; the program is currently in its
second year of the five year funding
cycle.

Each PRC is housed within an
accredited school of public health or an
accredited school of medicine or
osteopathy with a preventive medicine
residency program. The PRCs conduct
outcomes-oriented, applied prevention
research on a broad range of topics
using a multi-disciplinary and
community-engaged approach. Each
PRC receives funding from the CDC to
establish its core infrastructure and
functions and support a core research
project. In addition to core research
projects, most PRCs are awarded
funding to complete special interest
projects (SIPs) and conduct other
research projects.
The DP14–001 program
announcement included language that
was used to develop and operationalize
a set of 25 PRC Program evaluation
indicators. The PRC Program logic
model identifies program inputs,
activities, outputs, and outcomes. The
list of indicators was revised to better
reflect program needs and capture PRCs’
center and research activities, outputs,
and outcomes.
The CDC is currently approved to
collect information from the PRCs
through a structured telephone
interview and a web-based survey
hosted by a third-party. The web-based
survey is designed to collect
information on the PRCs’ collaborations
with health departments; formal
training programs and other training
activities; and other-funded research
projects conducted separate from their
core projects or SIP research. Structured
telephone interviews with key PRC
informants allow PRC Program staff to
collect indicator data that do not lend
themselves to a survey-based
methodology and require a qualitative
approach.
CDC requests OMB approval to revise
the information collection plan as
follows:
(1) The content of the web-based survey
will be updated to more closely align with
revised evaluation indicators. In addition, the
web-based survey will be migrated from a
third party platform to a web-based data
collection system hosted on CDC servers.
Although the estimated burden per response
will increase, the revised data collection
system will be comprehensive and will
reduce the need for follow-up clarification by
PRC Program awardees.
(2) CDC will discontinue telephone
interviews and conduct key informant
interviews (KII) every other year to capture
qualitative information about PRC Network
formation and cohesion.
CDC will continue to use the
information reported by PRCs to
identify training and technical
assistance needs, respond to requests for
information from Congress and other
sources, monitor grantees’ compliance
with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate progress made in
achieving goals and objectives, and
describe the impact and effectiveness of
the PRC Program.
The CDC currently funds 26 PRCs.
Each PRC will annually report the
required information to the CDC. The
annualized estimated burden is
expected to increase. This increase
equates to an estimated weekly burden
of one hour per respondent and more
fully accounts for the burden of
preparing responses, as well as the
burden of reporting responses. Webbased data collection will occur on an
annual basis. The KIIs will take place in
2016 and 2018. This equates to two PRC
Network KIIs per PRC Program awardee
during the three year OMB approval
period. Responses are annualized in the
burden table below.
The proposed web-based data
collection system will allow data entry
during the entire year, which will
enable respondents to distribute burden
throughout each funding year. Response
burden is expected to decrease in
funding years 2 through 5, since the
web-based data collection system will
replicate a number of data elements
from year-to-year, and respondents will
only need to enter changes.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. CDC plans to implement revised
reporting requirements in March 2016.
PRC Program awardees are required to
participate in information collection.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 1,299.
