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

19JNN1
28562
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 19, 2019 / Notices
form are effective in improving
outcomes across the HIV care
continuum. Strategies and interventions
that meet the review criteria verified by
HRSA contractors and approved by
HRSA program staff through this data
collection will be considered best
practices and made available through
the online compilation for
consideration, adaptation, and
replication by other HIV programs. In
addition, the best practices will support
peer exchange to resolve problems
impacting HIV care and treatment and
eliminating disparities in health
outcomes.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP
recipients and subrecipients that
voluntarily submit a best practice
strategy or intervention will participate
in the data collection. The project team
expects that up to 70 recipients and
subrecipients will complete the
screening form and 50 will screen
eligible and complete the full
submission form. For the site visits, the
project team will strategically select 30
sites from the universe of submitted
eligible initiatives, ensuring a range of
scores and representativeness of factors
such as Census region, proposed
strategy/intervention outcome, priority
population, and the type of agency or
provider implementing the strategy or
intervention.
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

Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program

Abstract: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and

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,

The project team has developed a draft submission form and criteria

the RWHAP; (2) the level of feasibility, replicability, and

Specifically, this information collection request involves three

1. Pre-Submission Screening Form: Through extensive outreach, the

2. Submission Form: Recipients and subrecipients that screen
