Proposed Project
Workplan Templates for Ten Regional
Centers to Enhance Public Health
Preparedness and Response—New—
Office of Readiness and Response
(ORR), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 2001, CDC supported
development implementation,
evaluation, translation and
dissemination of research findings,
strategies, and interventions to improve
public health preparedness and
response systems, infrastructures,
processes, and practices. This includes
the long-standing PHEP cooperative
agreement, CDC’s Public Health Crisis
Response Funding, and support for
applied research and evaluation,
metrics, measures, tools, and training
development. In 2021, with contract
support, CDC’s Office of Applied
Research (OAR) initiated 12 scoping
reviews, six landscape analyses, and
one systematic review to conduct
deeper dives into topics such as trust in
public health preparedness and
response, emergency communications
strategies with people with limited
English proficiency, public health
emergency preparedness and response
(PHEPR) practice in rural and tribal
communities, and use of health equity
coordinators in incident management.
The results of these reviews show great
breadth in the PHEPR field as it relates
to knowledge available to support
current practice and highlights the need
to expand knowledge to address specific
gaps. These needs and gaps may differ
across geographical regions and within
those regions at the state or local level.
To address needs to increase the uptake
of evidence-based interventions, in
December 2022, through section 2231 of
the federal appropriations for fiscal year
2023, CDC was directed to support not

fewer than 10 Centers for Public Health
Emergency Preparedness and Response
that are equally distributed among the
geographical regions of the U.S.
(referred to as the ‘‘network of centers’’).
This project aims to establish up to 10
centers across the designated Health and
Human Services (HHS) regions for
public health preparedness and
response (PHPR). The goal is to improve
PHPR practices by increasing the uptake
of evidence-based strategies and
interventions (EBSIs) that align with the
needs of the communities involved.
This will be achieved through: (1) the
development of a five-year workplan
that covers known strategies or
interventions, plans to implement each
strategy or intervention, or the
development and evaluation of new
approaches in PHPR; (2) the use of a
Cooperative Agreement Work Plan
Template to monitor performance of
activities throughout the funding
period; and (3) the use of an Evaluation
Work Plan Template to support
evaluation of implemented work plan
activities.
The Five-Year Regional Work Plan
addresses: (1) focus areas and objectives
across State, Tribal, Local, and
Territorial (STLT) and relevant partners
that would benefit from use of new or
enhanced PHPR EBSIs; (2) activities to
meet objectives; (3) prioritized EBSIs to
implement; (4) capability and capacity
of STLT health departments and
relevant partners to implement and
evaluate activities; and (5) regional
sustainability for implementation of
evidence-based practice beyond the
five-year period. Contractors will collect
information from the 10 HHS regional
Strategic Coordinators to develop focus
areas, objectives, or activities for
individualized workplans to advance
the implementation of EBSIs for PHPR
activities.
This proposed project also includes
two additional instruments including:
(1) an Evaluation Work Plan Template
that provides background information
needed to understand approaches in
evaluating selected strategies or
intervention activities; and (2) a
Cooperative Agreement Work Plan
Template that serves as a performance
monitoring instrument that supports
tracking of project activities throughout
the performance period.
OMB approval is sought for three
years. The estimated annualized burden
for this information collection is 150
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

requirements set forth in the Centers for

Diabetes Prevention Recognition
Program Standards and Operating
Procedures (DPRP Standards).
Additionally, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare
Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP)
expansion of CDC’s National DPP was
announced in early 2016, when the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS) determined that the Diabetes
Prevention Program met the statutory
criteria for inclusion in Medicare’s
expanded list of health care services for
beneficiaries (https://cmmi.my.site.com/
mdpp/). This was the first time a
preventive service model from the CMS
Innovation Center was expanded into
Medicare. After extensive testing of this
model in 17 sites across the U.S. in
2014–2016, CMS proposed the MDPP in
sections 1102 and 1871 of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302 and
1395hh sec. 424.59), authorizing CDCrecognized organizations to prepare for
enrollment as MDPP suppliers
beginning in January 2018 in order to
bill CMS for these services. Only
organizations in good standing with the
CDC DPRP are eligible as MDPP
suppliers. CDC continues to work with
CMS to support the MDPP.
CDC requests an additional three
years of OMB approval to continue
collecting the information needed to
administer the DPRP and provide
information needed by CMS to support
the MDPP benefit. Based on experience
with the DPRP from 2011–2023,
including data analysis and feedback
from applicant organizations and
internal and external partners, CDC
plans to revise the DPRP Standards and
the associated information collection.
Key changes are a direct result of
DPRP data analyses, recent literature
reviews, and discussion with national
DPP stakeholders, including those
serving socially vulnerable populations.
Key changes to the evaluation data
collection instrument allow for the

Proposed Project
Workplan Templates for Ten Regional Centers to Enhance Public
Health Preparedness and Response--New--Office of Readiness and Response
(ORR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Since 2001, CDC supported development implementation, evaluation,
translation and dissemination of research findings, strategies, and
interventions to improve public health preparedness and response
systems, infrastructures, processes, and practices. This includes the
long-standing PHEP cooperative agreement, CDC's Public Health Crisis
Response Funding, and support for applied research and evaluation,
metrics, measures, tools, and training development. In 2021, with
contract support, CDC's Office of Applied Research (OAR) initiated 12
scoping reviews, six landscape analyses, and one systematic review to
conduct deeper dives into topics such as trust in public health
preparedness and response, emergency communications strategies with
people with limited English proficiency, public health emergency
preparedness and response (PHEPR) practice in rural and tribal
communities, and use of health equity coordinators in incident
management. The results of these reviews show great breadth in the
PHEPR field as it relates to knowledge available to support current
practice and highlights the need to expand knowledge to address
specific gaps. These needs and gaps may differ across geographical
regions and within those regions at the state or local level. To
address needs to increase the uptake of evidence-based interventions,
in December 2022, through section 2231 of the federal appropriations
for fiscal year 2023, CDC was directed to support not fewer than 10
Centers for Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response that are
equally distributed among the geographical regions of the U.S.
(referred to as the ``network of centers'').
This project aims to establish up to 10 centers across the
designated Health and Human Services (HHS) regions for public health
preparedness and response (PHPR). The goal is to improve PHPR practices
by increasing the uptake of evidence-based strategies and interventions
(EBSIs) that align with the needs of the communities involved. This
will be achieved through: (1) the development of a five-year workplan
that covers known strategies or interventions, plans to implement each
strategy or intervention, or the development and evaluation of new
approaches in PHPR; (2) the use of a Cooperative Agreement Work Plan
Template to monitor performance of activities throughout the funding
period; and (3) the use of an Evaluation Work Plan Template to support
evaluation of implemented work plan activities.
The Five-Year Regional Work Plan addresses: (1) focus areas and
objectives across State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) and
relevant partners that would benefit from use of new or enhanced PHPR
EBSIs; (2) activities to meet objectives; (3) prioritized EBSIs to
implement; (4) capability and capacity of STLT health departments and
relevant partners to implement and evaluate activities; and (5)
regional sustainability for implementation of evidence-based practice
beyond the five-year period. Contractors will collect information from
the 10 HHS regional Strategic Coordinators to develop focus areas,
objectives, or activities for individualized workplans to advance the
implementation of EBSIs for PHPR activities.
This proposed project also includes two additional instruments
including: (1) an Evaluation Work Plan Template that provides
background information needed to understand approaches in evaluating
selected strategies or intervention activities; and (2) a Cooperative
Agreement Work Plan Template that serves as a performance monitoring
instrument that supports tracking of project activities throughout the
performance period.
OMB approval is sought for three years. The estimated annualized
burden for this information collection is 150 hours. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.
