or while a program is being conducted.
NCHHSTP formative research is
necessary for developing new programs
or adapting programs that deal with the
complexity of behaviors, social context,
cultural identities, and health care that
underlie the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS,
viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB in the U.S,
as well as for school and adolescent
health. CDC conducts formative
research to develop public-sensitive
communication messages and userfriendly tools prior to developing or
recommending interventions, or care.
Sometimes these studies are entirely
behavioral but most often they are
cycles of interviews and focus groups
designed to inform the development of
a product.
Products from these formative
research studies will be used for
prevention of HIV/AIDS, Sexually
Transmitted Infections (STI), viral
Hepatitis, and Tuberculosis. Findings
from these studies may also be
presented as evidence to diseasespecific National Advisory Committees,
to support revisions to recommended
prevention and intervention methods, as
well as to develop new
recommendations. Much of CDC’s
health communication takes place
within campaigns that have lengthy
planning periods—timeframes that
accommodate the standard federal
process for approving data collections.
Short-term qualitative interviewing and
cognitive research techniques have
previously proven invaluable in the
development of scientifically valid and
population-appropriate methods,
interventions, and instruments.
This request includes studies
investigating the utility and
acceptability of proposed sampling and
recruitment methods, intervention
contents and delivery, questionnaire
domains, individual questions, and
interactions with project staff or
electronic data collection equipment.
These activities will also provide
information about how respondents
answer questions and ways in which
question response bias and error can be
reduced. This request also includes
collection of information from public
health programs to assess needs related
to initiation of a new program activity
or expansion or changes in scope or
implementation of existing program
activities to adapt them to current
needs. The information collected will be
used to advise programs and provide
capacity-building assistance tailored to
identified needs.
Overall, these development activities
are intended to provide information that
will increase the success of the
surveillance or research projects
through increasing response rates and
decreasing response error, thereby
decreasing future data collection burden
to the public. The studies that will be
covered under this request will include
one or more of the following
investigational modalities: (1) structured
and qualitative interviewing for
surveillance, research, interventions and
material development; (2) cognitive
interviewing for development of specific
data collection instruments; (3)
methodological research; (4) usability
testing of technology-based instruments
and materials; (5) field testing of new
methodologies and materials; (6)
investigation of mental models for
health decision-making, to inform
health communication messages; and (7)
organizational needs assessments to
support development of capacity.
Respondents who will participate in
individual and group interviews
(qualitative, cognitive, and computer
assisted development activities) are
selected purposively from those who
respond to recruitment advertisements.
In addition to utilizing advertisements
for recruitment, respondents who will
participate in research on survey
methods may be selected purposively or
systematically from within an ongoing
surveillance or research project.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 46,516 annual burden hours.
Participation by respondents is
voluntary, and there is no cost to
participants other than their time.

threats, both foreign and in the U.S.
CDC strives to fulfill this mission, in
part, through a competent and capable
public health workforce. One
mechanism for developing the public
health workforce is through fellowship
programs like those sponsored and
supported by the Division of Workforce
Development (DWD). A robust public
health workforce has sufficient
workforce, organizational, and systems
capacity to deliver essential public
health services and protect the public’s
health. In 2023, after an agency-wide
CDC reorganization, a number of CDC
career fellowships were consolidated
within one new division, DWD, which
has a lead role in public health
workforce development. Across all of its
branches, DWD manages or supports
many full-time, cross-cutting career
fellowship programs that support CDC
and State, Tribal, local, and Territorial
health departments, and partner
organizations. Through these programs,
DWD strives to provide quality training
for current and future members of the
public health workforce to ensure they
have foundational and contemporary
public health skills. Nearly all these
programs serve as a pathway to CDC
career communities and are an
important source of supply for the
public health workforce.
In 2015, CDC obtained OMB approval
to conduct follow-up surveys of alumni
who had completed the Public Health
Associate Program (PHAP) (OMB No.
0920–1078). Findings from the PHAP
alumni surveys have improved CDC’s
understanding of alumni retention and
career progression in the public health
workforce and have informed
management of the PHAP. In this
Revision, CDC proposes to build on
lessons learned in PHAP fellowship
evaluation. CDC will broaden the scope
of information collection to
accommodate the full portfolio of DWD
fellowships, which currently includes
the Epidemiology Elective Program
(EEP), Evaluation Fellowship
Program(EFP), Epidemic Intelligence
Service (EIS), Future Leaders in
Infectious and Global Health Threats
(FLIGHT), Laboratory Leadership
Service (LLS), CDC Steven M. Teutsch
Prevention Effectiveness (PE)
Fellowship, Public Health Informatics
Fellowship Program (PHIFP), and the
Science Ambassador Fellowship (SAF),
in addition to the Public Health
Associate Program (PHAP). This ICR is
also intentionally removing the host site
supervisor component included in the
original ICR. This revision will
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

specifically focus on fellowship alumni
only. A new ICR will be created for any
host site supervisor surveys these
fellowships may seek to conduct.
Each year, new cohorts ranging from
three to 200 individuals are enrolled
across these fellowship programs. While
each fellowship differs in focus area,
type of fellow, and projects, they all
have the same mission: to train and
provide learning opportunities to earlyand mid-career professionals who
contribute to the public health
workforce. All share a common goal
that, post-fellowship, alumni seek
employment within the public health
system (i.e., Federal, State, Tribal, local,
or Territorial health agencies, or nongovernmental organizations). Given this
common goal, CDC will apply a
common approach to assessing how
fellowship participation impacts the job
placement, retention in the public
health workforce, and career
progression of alumni. DWD Fellowship
Alumni Surveys will be administered to
individual program alumni at three
different time points (one year, three
years, and five years post-program
completion). Each fellowship program
will invite their program’s alumni to
participate. Fellowships will be
deploying surveys specific to their
programs. Assessment questions will
remain consistent at each
administration timepoint (i.e., one year,
three years, or five years post-program
completion). The language, however,
will be updated for each survey
administration to reflect the appropriate
time period. There is a core set of
assessment questions that all fellowship
programs will use. Each program can
also add fellowship-specific questions
to their surveys to ensure relevance of
the surveys to each program’s alumni.
Surveys will be administered
electronically; a link to the survey will
be provided in an email invitation. CDC
will use survey findings to document
program outcomes, demonstrate
evidence of impact, and inform decision
making about future program direction.
The results of these surveys may be
published in peer reviewed journals
and/or in non-scientific publications
such as practice reports and/or fact
sheets.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. The estimated burden is between
8–25 minutes per respondent per
survey, and the total annualized
estimated burden is 175 hours.
Participation is voluntary and there are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.
