University of Massachusetts ............................................ Justification: The HIV care workforce continues to decrease, directly impacting the ability of RWHAP to meet the goals and objectives of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States by 2030. Experts indicate that fewer medical trainees are entering the field of HIV and that workforce trends are not keeping pace with the rates of HIV infection. Given the overall HIV/AIDS care workforce challenges presented, it is imperative that purposeful action is taken to support the current workforce. According to a recent HIV care provider study conducted by the RWHAP National Coordinating Resource Center, in addition to the current workforce VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:07 May 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 shortages, 10.5 percent of the current providers surveyed will be leaving HIV care in 5 years, and an additional 7.3 percent of those surveyed will be decreasing the number of patients with HIV to whom they provide care. In November 2022, UMass, a current award recipient of the Regional AETC Program, submitted an unsolicited proposal to HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau to support a program designed to train internal and family medicine residents to specialize in HIV care and management. The HIV Pathways Consortium Program (Pathways) is designed to increase the number of primary care providers that have the PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 City, state MA Award amount $450,000 knowledge and expertise to provide direct care services and treatment to people with HIV and train other primary care providers. UMass has implemented Pathways for several years and has been able to demonstrate impact on the HIV care workforce. Pathways aligns with the purpose and scope of work for the Regional AETC Program as described in the current Fiscal Year 2019 Notice of Funding Opportunity (HRSA 19–035). The proposal underwent extensive review per the guidelines established by HHS and HRSA for a recipient initiated supplemental funding proposal.

In addition, recipient initiated supplemental funding proposals require a technical review and are not required to undergo a competitive process. This award will greatly enhance the ability of the AETC program to target and increase the number of trained HIV physician providers, including those trained at minority-serving institutions. In addition, Pathways will quickly introduce new providers into the HIV care workforce, address critical workforce shortages, and aid the federal government in reaching the goal to end HIV by 2030. The proposed project will be a new activity under UMass’ current Regional AETC Program award. HRSA will award $450,000 in supplemental funding to UMass for a 1-year project and budget period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested persons are invited to send comments ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:07 May 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. Title of the Collection: Challenge and Prize Competition Solicitations. Type of Collection: Reinstatement without change. OMB No. 0990–0390—Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH). Abstract: The Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) requests that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a request for an extension of generic clearance approval of the information collected for challenge and prize competition solicitations. Burden hours were increased from 333 to 558.3 total burden hours to provide more time for respondents to complete forms that may include more questions. Challenges and prize competitions enable HHS to tap into the expertise and creativity of the public in new ways as well as extend awareness of HHS programs and priorities. Within HHS, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) has taken lead responsibility in coordinating challenges and prize competitions and implementing policies regarding the use of these tools. HHS’s goal is to engage a broader number of stakeholders who are inspired to work on some of our most pressing health issues, thus supporting a new ecosystem of scientists, developers, and entrepreneurs who can continue to innovate for public health. The generic clearance is necessary for HHS to launch several challenges or prize competitions annually in a short turnaround. The information collected for these challenges and prize competitions will generally include the submitter’s or other contact person’s first and last name, organizational affiliation and role in the organization (for identification purposes); email address or other contact information (to follow up if the submitted solution is selected as a finalist or winner); street address (to confirm that the submitter or affiliated organization is located in the United States, for eligibility purposes); information confirming whether the PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30993 submitter’s age is 13 years or older (to ensure compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, 15 U.S.C. 6501–6505 (COPPA)) or 18 years or older (to ensure necessary consents are obtained); and a narrative description of the solution. HHS may also request information indicating the submitter’s technical background, educational level, ethnicity, age range, gender, and race (to evaluate entrants’ diversity and backgrounds), how the submitter learned about the challenge or prize competition and what the submitter currently understands about the HHS agency hosting the challenge or prize competition (to gauge the effect of the challenge or prize competition on increasing public awareness of HHS programs and priorities, and generally to enable HHS to improve its outreach strategies to ensure a diverse and broad innovator constituency is fostered through the use of challenges and prize competitions). Finally, HHS may ask for additional information tailored to the challenge or prize competition through structured questions. This information will enable HHS to create and administer challenges and prize competitions more effectively. Upon entry or during the judging process, solvers under the age of 18 will be asked to confirm parental consent, which will require them to obtain and provide a parent or guardian signature in a format outlined in the specific criteria of each challenge or prize competition in order to qualify for the contest. To protect online privacy of minors, birthdate may be required by the website host to ensure the challenge platform meets the requirements of COPPA. Eligibility to win a cash prize will be outlined in the specific criteria of each contest and will only apply to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or private entities incorporated in and maintaining a primary place of business in the U.S. To administer the cash prize, HHS will need to collect additional relevant payment information—such as Social Security Number and/or Taxpayer ID and information regarding the winners’ financial institutions—in order to comply with financial accounting and income tax reporting processes. Likely Respondents: Likely respondents include individuals, businesses, and state and local governments who choose to participate in a challenge or prize competition hosted or overseen (i.e., via contract, etc.) by HHS.
