collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in

1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Applied Research to Address

Background and Brief Description
On March 26, 2018, CDC issued a
Broad Agency Announcement (FY2018–
OADS–01) available at https://
www.fbo.gov/spg/HHS/CDCP/PGOA/
FY2018-OADS-BAA/listing.html. There
8. Approaches to Prevention and
Control of Parasitic Infections and
Neglected Tropical Diseases Globally
9. Surveillance and Control of
Arthropod Vectors of Human
Pathogens
10. Modernization of the Surveillance
Data Platform
is potential for standardized information
collection attached to a limited number
of awarded projects. For those projects,
a 30-day notice will be published in the
Federal Register and information
collection requests will be submitted to
OMB for approval. This Federal
Register notice is intended to broadly
inform the public of CDC’s intent to
contract with researchers to carry out a
variety of different research projects
awarded through this announcement.
For this announcement, CDC has
identified the following research areas
of interest. Interested parties are invited
to consider innovative approaches to
support advanced research and
development strategies in the following
research areas of interest:
1. New Diagnostic, Sequencing, and
Metagenomic Tools for AR Detection
and Improved Antibiotic Use
2. International Transmission,
Colonization, and Prevention of AR
Pathogens
3. Domestic Transmission, Colonization,
and Prevention of AR Pathogens and
CDI
4. Develop Human Microbiome
Disruption Indices Relevant to
Antibiotic Resistance
5. Antibiotic Resistant Pathogens and
Genes in Water Systems and the
Environment and their Contribution
to Human Infections
6. Improving Antibiotic Stewardship
7. Approaches to Prevention and
Control of Parasitic Infections in the
United States
Contracts that are awarded based on
responses to this BAA are as a result of
full and open competition and therefore
in full compliance with the provisions
of Public Law 98–369, ‘‘The
Competition in Contracting Act of
1984.’’ CDC contracts with educational
institutions, nonprofit organizations,
state and local government, and private
industry for research and development
(R&D) in those areas covered in this
BAA.
The public is invited to look at the
BAA online for greater detail and more
specific research areas falling under the
ten topics listed above.
Authorizing legislation comes from
Section 301 of the Public Health Service
Act. Responses will be voluntary and it
is not expected that there will be any
cost to respondents other than the time
to participate in information collection.
The total estimated burden for all of the
information collections is not expected
to exceed 1,500 hours (100 hours of
burden for a maximum of 15 potentially
PRA-applicable contracts).
