Proposed Project
Global Public Health Data Innovation
Performance Monitoring (OMB Control
Number pending)—New—Global Health
Center (GHC), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Global Public Health Data
Innovation (GPHDI) initiative, led by the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), aims to equip
government decision makers with
timely, accurate, and comprehensive
public health data to effectively prevent,
detect, and respond to public health
threats. Challenges, such as limited data
access, non-standardization, workforce
limitations, and gaps in data systems
and governance, often hinder the
optimal use of data in public health
response efforts. To overcome these
challenges, GPHDI focuses on
strengthening global outbreak response,
pandemic preparedness, and
surveillance through improved data
availability and utilization. This is
achieved by modernizing data systems
and processes at all levels.
GPHDI is made possible by the
American Rescue Plan Act passed by
the U.S. Congress in 2021 and is rooted
in key strategic pillars within CDC,
namely the Data Modernization
Initiative (DMI) and the Global Digital
Health Strategy (GDHS). DMI is an
agency-wide initiative aimed at
improving data systems infrastructure
within the United States, offering
valuable insights and artifacts that can
be adapted and leveraged for the global
context of the GPHDI initiative. The goal
of DMI is to get better, faster, actionable
insights for decision making at all levels
of public health. Complementing this,
the GDHS incorporates inputs from a
multi-partner engagement process,
enhancing the strategic approach of the
initiative.
GPHDI is currently a three-year
investment that builds on an existing
foundation laid by various country
governments, donor agencies, and
multilateral organizations. This
investment is specifically allocated to
advance the initiative in 10 selected
countries, including Kenya, Sierra
Leone, Uganda, and Zambia in Africa;
Colombia and Paraguay in the South
American Region; Georgia and Ukraine
in Eastern Europe; Thailand in the
Central Asia Region; and Honduras in
the Central American Region.
This data collection is aimed at
monitoring and assessing the
contributions of current GPHDI
investments in data modernization and
digital public health infrastructure
towards improving data availability to
prevent, detect, and respond to public
health threats in the selected countries.
The indicators to be collected as shown
in the data collection instrument
include both structured response-type
questions (Yes-No answers, coded
answers) and narrative response-type
questions. CDC contractors, RTI
International (RTI) will conduct the
interviews and CDC-funded
implementing partners (IPs) monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) point of contacts
will provide responses to the indicators
based on their funded activities. RTI
will document the responses from the
interviews using an instance of CDC
RedCap. Interviews will be conducted
in a live one-on-one session between
RTI and identified M&E point of
contacts at the funded IPs. No patientlevel or individual level or identifiable
data will be collected for this project.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 64 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.

Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), is requesting approval of a
new Generic information collection for
a period of three years under the project
titled, Direct Reading Methodologies,
Sensor Technologies, and Robotics
Technology Assessment in Lab/
Simulator-based Settings. NIOSH is a
Federal institute that operates within
the CDC specifically dedicated to
generating new knowledge in the field
of occupational safety and health and
responsible for transferring that
knowledge into practice for the
betterment of workers. Given NIOSH’s
mission to develop new knowledge, the
Institute is uniquely positioned to
evaluate potential benefits and risks
relative to occupational safety and
health issues of the 21st century
workplace, work, and workforce—also
discussed as the Future of Work (FOW).
Areas requiring detailed attention and
advancement include research and
development in artificial intelligence,
robotics, and sensor technologies.
NIOSH has established alliances and
partnerships with other Federal
agencies and external partners to
collaborate and share technical
knowledge to improve awareness
around workplace hazards and
appropriate safeguards as it relates to
technology. Consequently, NIOSH
created two Centers charged with
leading and coordinating these FOW
efforts, with a focus on technology
assessment and integration in the
workplace that revolves around
emerging recommendations and
standards in advancing automation.
First, in 2014, the NIOSH Center for
Direct Reading and Sensor Technologies
(CDRST) was established to research
and develop recommendations on the
use of 21st century technologies in
occupational safety and health. Both
direct-reading methodologies and
sensors are used to detect and monitor
hazardous conditions, to assess and
document intervention strategies, and
especially to immediately trigger alarms
in the event of unsafe conditions.
Examples of direct reading and sensor
technologies include real-time personal
monitoring, wearable monitors, and
exoskeletons including wearable robots.
Second, in 2017, NIOSH established
the Center for Occupational Robotics
Research (CORR) to study the nature of
robots in the workplace, conduct
workplace interventions to prevent
robot-related worker injuries, and
develop guidance for safe interactions
between humans and robots. There are
several common types of robots used in
occupational environments—traditional
industrial robots; professional or service
robots; collaborative robots; and mobile
