Proposed Project
Improving Performance Measurement
and Monitoring by CDC programs—
New—Office of Grant Services (OGS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, 75% of CDC funding goes
to extramural organizations, including
state and local partners, via contracts,
grants, and, most commonly,
cooperative agreements. A cooperative
agreement is an award mechanism used
when there will be substantial Federal
programmatic involvement, meaning
that the CDC program staff will
collaborate or participate in project or
program activities. These funds are
distributed from the Office of Grant
Services (OGS) to partners throughout
the world to promote health, prevent
disease, injury and disability and
prepare for new health threats. OGS is
responsible for the stewardship of these
approved generic clearance (OMB
approval number: 0970–0490,
expiration date 1/31/2020) owned by
ACF. This ACF generic clearance
replaces the information collection that
is the basis of CDC’s current PPMR.
Project participants will customize a
sample information collection to meet
program-specific needs.
The information collected will enable
the accurate, reliable, uniform and
timely submission to CDC of each
recipient’s progress and performance
measures. The information collected by
the generic information collection is
designed to align with, and support the
goals outlined for each of the CDC
recipients. Collection and reporting of
the information will occur in an
efficient, standardized, and userfriendly manner that will generate a
variety of routine and customizable
reports. The generic information
collection will allow each recipient to
summarize activities and progress
towards meeting performance measures
and goals over a specified time period
specific to each award. CDC will also
have the capacity to generate reports
that describe activities across multiple
recipients. In addition, CDC will use the
information collected to respond to
inquiries from HHS, Congress and other
stakeholder inquiries about program
activities and their impact. CDC
requests OMB approval for three years.
The total estimated burden is 35,000
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
funds while providing excellent,
professional services to our partners and
stakeholders.
Currently, CDC uses the PPMR (OMB
Control Number- 0920–1132, Expiration
Date: 08/31/2019), a progress report
form adapted from an information
collection owned by the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF). This
tool may be used to collect information
periodically from recipients of CDC
funds regarding the progress made on
CDC funded projects.
The Improving Performance
Measurement and Monitoring by CDC
Programs project will work with up to
25 CDC programs developing
cooperative agreements to address the
challenges they face with performance
planning, measurement and monitoring.
Each cooperative agreement will
provide funding to an average of 35
local entities, for a total of up to 875
locally funded entities.
Through participation in this Project,
CDC programs and recipients of
cooperative agreement funds will: (1)
Develop strong performance
measurement systems and practices; (2)
define and operationalize priority
performance measures tailored to a
specific cooperative agreement; and (3)
establish common data collection and
reporting expectations across all
recipients for a specific cooperative
agreement. The Project focuses on
addressing these issues during the early
stages of cooperative agreement
development and implementation.
The Project proposes a generic
clearance adapted from a previously

Proposed Project
Assessment of Outcomes Associated
with the Preventive Health and Health
Services Block Grant—New—Office for
State, Tribal, Local and Territorial
Support (OSTLTS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Preventive Health and Health
Services Block Grant (PHHS Block
Grant) has provided flexible funding for
all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
two American Indian tribes, five U.S.
territories, and three freely associated
states to address the unique public
health needs of their jurisdictions in
innovative and locally defined ways.
First authorized by Congress in 1981
through the Public Health Service Act
(Pub. L. 102–531), the fundamental and
enduring purpose of the grant has been
to provide grantees with flexibility and
control to address their priority public
health needs. In 1992, Congress
amended the law to align PHHS Block
Grant funding priorities with the 22
chapters specified in Healthy People
(HP) 2000, a set of national objectives
designed to guide health promotion and
disease prevention efforts. Additional
amendments included set-aside funds
specifically dedicated to sex offense
prevention and victim services, thus
requiring grantees receiving this support
to include related HP objectives and
activities as part of their PHHS Block
Grant-funded local programs.
CDC is establishing a comprehensive,
standardized method to collect data to
describe select outputs and outcomes
and ensure the accountability of the
PHHS Block Grant. The CDC PHHS
Block Grant Measurement Framework is
an innovative approach to collecting
data on public health infrastructure
improved (i.e., information systems
improved and quality improved—
efficiency and effectiveness
improvements achieved in programs,
services, and operations), emerging
public health needs addressed, and
evidence-based public health
interventions implemented.
The purpose of this information
collection request (ICR) is to collect data
that assess select cross-cutting outputs
and outcomes of the grant (as defined by
the framework measures) and that
demonstrate the utility of the grant on
a national level. This data collection
will describe the outcomes of the PHHS
Block Grant as a whole—not individual
grantee activities or outcomes.
The respondent universe consists of
61 PHHS Block Grant coordinators, or
their designees, across 61 health
departments (50 states, the District of
Columbia, two tribes, five US territories,
and three freely associated states). The
assessment will be administered to
PHHS Block Grant coordinators
electronically via a web-based
questionnaire. A link to the assessment
will be provided by email invitation.
The survey will be completed once
every two years. The total annualized
estimated burden is 46 hours.
