Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Office of Disease
Prevention (ODP) is the lead Office at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
responsible for assessing, facilitating,
and stimulating research in disease
prevention and health promotion, and
disseminating the results of this
research to improve public health.
Prevention is preferable to treatment,
and research on disease prevention is an
important part of the NIH’s mission. The
knowledge gained from this research
leads to stronger clinical practice, health
policy, and community health
programs. ODP collaborates with the
NIH, other Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) agencies, and
other public and private partners to
achieve the Office’s mission and goals.
One of our priorities is to promote the
use of the best available methods in
prevention research and support the
development of better methods. One of
our strategies is to help the Center for
Scientific Review (CSR) identify experts
in prevention science methods to
include on their review panels. This
will strengthen the panels and improve
the quality of the prevention research
supported by the NIH. To identify
experts in prevention science methods,
we worked with our contractor, IQ
Solutions, Inc., to develop online
software which will allow us to collect
scientists’ names, contact information,
and resumes, as well as to have those
scientists identify their level of

can use to identify scientists with
expertise in specific prevention science

with review staff in the other Institutes

Project: State Targeted Response to the
Opioid Crisis (Opioid STR)
Evaluation—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) recently awarded 57 grants
to states and territories to help address
the national opioid crisis by increasing
access to treatment, reducing unmet
treatment needs, and reducing opioid
overdose related deaths through the
provision of prevention, treatment, and
recovery activities for opioid use
disorder (OUD).
SAMHSA’s Center for Behavioral
Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ),
will be conducting a cross-site
evaluation of the Opioid STR grant
program. The proposed data collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014

is necessary to evaluate how the Opioid
STR state/territory grantees plan and
implement prevention, treatment and
recovery services. Additionally, a subset
of communities/programs will be
selected to participate in supplemental
evaluation activities designed to provide
detailed information related to the
implementation of services at the
program/community level, as well as
the impacts of the program on client
outcomes.
SAMHSA has developed a set of
interview protocols and survey
measures that will collect information
from all state/territory grantees (57), and
subset (up to 20) of programs/
communities that provide services and
activities funded by the grant. In
addition, SAMHSA’s Performance
Accountability and Reporting System
(SPARS) will be used to collect
individual-level data using CSAT’s
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) for Discretionary Grant
Programs Client Outcome Measure
(OMB No. 0930–0208) from individuals
receiving services from participating
communities/programs.
Specific data collected as part of the
Opioid STR evaluation include the
following:
State Survey: The State Survey will be
administered to State Project Directors/
Program Managers to collect
information about the state/territory’s
current, planned, and implemented
activities to address opioid misuse using
Opioid STR funding. State Surveys will
be administered three (3) times.
State Interview: The State Interview
Protocol will be used to collect
information from the State Project
Director/Program Manager during phone
interviews at two (2) time points.
Interviews will collect information

about the state’s substance abuse
treatment systems prior to STR funding,
the types of activities states plan to
implement with STR funding,
challenges and successes when
implementing these activities, and plans
for sustaining the activities.
Community/Program Survey: The
Community/Program Survey will be
administered to Community/Program
Directors or Program Managers to collect
information about the community/
program’s readiness to implement
activities that address opioid misuse,
their actual implementation of activities
to address opioid misuse, and initial
outcomes of their implemented
activities. Community/Program Survey
will be administered three (3) times.
Community/Program Director/
Manager Interview Protocol: The
Community/Program Director/Manager
Interview Protocol will be used to
collect information from Community/
Program Directors or Program Managers
during in-person site visits to each
participating community/program.
Interviews will collect in-depth
information about the community’s/
program’s implementation of activities
to address opioid misuse using Opioid
STR funding, and factors facilitating and
impeding the implementation of STRfunded activities. Community/Program
Director/Manager Interviews will be
conducted two (2) times.
Community/Program Data Manager
Interview Protocol: The Community/
Program Data Manager Interview
Protocol will be used to collect
information from Data Managers during
in-person site visits to each
participating community/program.
