When the goal is generalizability, CDC will submit the sampling methods to OMB as part of the GenIC package. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,000 annual burden hours.

The purpose of the proposed data collection is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the VHT–NC projects and their communities, including implementation strengths and challenges. A primary aim is to conduct a participatory and culturally responsive formative evaluation that is informed by and respects the knowledge, values, and traditions of the communities implementing the VHT– NC projects. The proposed data collection will include semi-structured interviews with VHT–NC project staff, key project partners, and project participants SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\28NON1.SGM 28NON1
