Proposed Project
A Novel Framework for Structuring
Industry-Tuned Public-Private
Partnerships and Economic Incentives
for U.S. Health Emergency Preparedness
and Response—New—Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response
(OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Despite the important role of publicprivate partnerships in supporting the
US’s public health preparedness and
response mission, many partnership
efforts are not successful due to poorly
aligned incentives or lack of awareness
of external market factors. There is little
research or information on private
sector incentive structures and
partnership opportunities and barriers
specific to public health preparedness
and response. This study will evaluate
the effectiveness of public-private
partnership incentives from the
perspective of private sector industries
within the public health preparedness
and response space.
Study activities include the following:
(1) Identification of public-private
partnership incentives and target
industries for public health
preparedness and response; (2)
interviews with industry leaders (in
person or via telephone) to identify
related public health emergency
preparedness activities and partnership
opportunities and barriers; (3) survey of
private sector organization managers
using on-line technology (Qualtrics) on
key issues and attractiveness of
partnership opportunities and
incentives; and (4) framework
development to identify partnership
target organizations, opportunities, and
incentives to promote public health
emergency preparedness capabilities.
CDC proposes to collect information
from the private industry leaders in the
public health preparedness and
response space to accomplish this goal.
The information collection project is
composed of two parts: (1) Interviews
and (2) an on-line general survey. The
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
targeted interviews will seek
respondents in the following eight
sectors: Pharmaceutical/life sciences
(n=8), health IT/mobile (n=8), retailers/
distributors (n=6), academia/research
organization (n=6), hospital/healthcare
provider (n=5), health insurance (n=4),
logistics/transportation (n=4), and
charitable organization/foundation
(n=4). The interview questions and the
information collected will vary
significantly across the different sectors.
The survey portion of the information
collection consists of a larger survey
administered to 200 individuals to reach
a total sample population of 100
(assuming a 50% response rate). CDC
will conduct the interviews and
administer the survey only one time to
each individual respondent. CDC plans
to conduct interviews and surveys
within six months after OMB approval.
Members of the research team will
conduct the interviews. CDC will
administer the surveys using the secure
online software Qualtrics, and
respondents will receive an email with
a unique link that will direct them to
the Qualtrics survey platform. The
research team will then transfer data to
CDC’s preferred Secure File Transfer
Protocol (SFTP) client for secure storage
and access. After this transfer, CDC will
destroy all copies of the data that reside
outside of the SFTP. Only the research
team will have access to the interview
transcripts and survey responses that
will link responses to personally
identifiable information. Researchers
will use locked file cabinets to store
securely, any printed or hand-written
documents containing personal
identifiable information. Once scanned
or otherwise transferred into electronic
files (which will also be transferred to
the SFTP client), researchers will
appropriately destroy the information.
Only the research team will have
access to the SFTP, which will require
the user to enter a host address,
username, password and port number.
Any information removed from the
SFTP client to be shared with outside
parties will be presented in aggregated
and de-identified form, unless otherwise
compelled by law. CDC will retain and
destroy all records in accordance with
the applicable CDC Records Control
Schedule.
OPHPR is requesting an approval
period of one year to collect this
information. There is no cost to
respondents other than the time to
participate. The total estimated annual
burden hours is 70 hours. A summary
of annualized burden hours is below.

A Novel Framework for Structuring Industry-Tuned Public-Private
