Information Collection Request Title:
Standardized Work Plan (SWP) Form for
Use with Applications to the Bureau of
Health Workforce (BHW) Research and
Training Grants and Cooperative
Agreements, OMB No. 0906–xxxx–New.
Abstract: BHW requires applicants for
training and research grants and
cooperative agreements to submit a
work plan that describes the timeframes
and deliverables required during the
grant period of performance to address
each of the needs detailed in the
Purpose and Need section of the
application, as required in the Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
announcement. Applicants are currently
able to submit work plans in a nonstandardized format.
In order to standardize the data
provided by applicants to make
informed decisions about funding and
assist with monitoring awardee
progress, BHW plans to require
applicants to complete a SWP form in
lieu of submitting a work plan in the
applicant’s own format. Applicants will
use the SWP form when they submit
their proposals, and grantees and Project
Officers will use the SWP information to
assist in monitoring progress once
HRSA makes the awards.
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collected
by the SWP form is necessary to
standardize and streamline the data
used by HRSA in reviewing applications
and monitoring awardees. The form will
ask applicants to provide a description
of the activities or steps the recipient
will take to achieve each of the
objectives proposed during to the entire
period of performance. The current
variation in formats and data submitted
by applicants reduces efficiency in
reviewing, awarding, and monitoring
each project, so this change will remedy
that inefficiency. In addition, seeking
OMB approval comports with the
regulatory requirement imposed by 45
CFR 75.206(a), Paperwork clearances.
The proposed SWP form will be used
to provide information to assess
applications for awards including
ranking applications as part of the grant
review process. BHW will also use the
information to assess whether current
recipients of grant funding have met
statutory and programmatic
requirements.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will
be applicants to HRSA’s research and
training programs in BHW.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Information Collection Request Title:
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
(RWHAP) Recipient Compilation of Best
Practice Strategies and Interventions,
OMB No. 0906–xxxx–New.
Abstract: HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states, and local
clinics/community-based organizations
to deliver efficient and effective HIV
care, treatment, and support to lowincome people with HIV. Nearly twothirds of clients (patients) live at or
below 100 percent of the federal poverty
level and approximately three-quarters
of RWHAP clients are racial/ethnic
minorities. Since 1990, the RWHAP has
developed a comprehensive system of
safety net providers who deliver high
quality direct health care and support
services to over half a million people
living with HIV—more than 50 percent
of all people living with diagnosed HIV
in the United States. HRSA’s HIV/AIDS
Bureau (HAB) is developing a
comprehensive, web-based compilation
of RWHAP recipient and subrecipient
best practice strategies and
interventions. When completed, the
online recipient compilation will be
housed on TargetHIV.org (HRSA HAB’s
technical assistance site for recipients
and subrecipients) and structured to
allow programs to easily search and
identify RWHAP best practice strategies
and interventions for implementation.
Recipients and subrecipients may
voluntarily complete a submission form,
also housed on TargetHIV.org, when
they have a best practice strategy or
intervention to share. Strategies and
interventions that meet certain criteria
will be incorporated into the online
compilation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The project team has developed a
draft submission form and criteria for
the types of strategies and interventions
to be included in the compilation based
on: (1) The quality and relevance of the
approach to the RWHAP; (2) the level of
feasibility, replicability, and
sustainability; and (3) the quality of
evidence that supports the approach’s
results.
Specifically, this information
collection request involves three forms
of data collection as described below.
1. Pre-Submission Screening Form:
Through extensive outreach, the project
team expects up to 70 recipients and
subrecipients to express interest in
submission. They will be asked four
screening questions to determine
whether they are eligible for inclusion
in the compilation.
2. Submission Form: Recipients and
subrecipients that screen eligible will
then complete a submission form
describing their strategy or intervention,
including service delivery model, target
population, expected or achieved
outcomes, and resource requirements.
The project team will score the
submissions based on the established
criteria.
3. Site Visit Discussion Guide: The
project team will conduct up to 30 site
visits to test the criteria and gather
feedback on the submission form and
compilation. The half-day site visits will
involve individual or small group
discussions with program staff involved
in implementation (e.g., program
managers, direct service providers, and
evaluators). The project team will then
revise the submission form, criteria, and
compilation template based on
feedback.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of this data
collection effort is for HRSA contractors
to assess the review criteria being used
to systematically identify and select
RWHAP-funded best practice strategies
or interventions that demonstrate
impact across the HIV care continuum
for the online compilation.
Assessing the review criteria will
allow HRSA to obtain important
information from recipients and
determine if the strategies or
interventions shared via the submission
