Information Collection Request Title: Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) Performance Measures for Discretionary Grant Information
System (DGIS), OMB No. 0915-0298--Revision.
Abstract: Approval from OMB is sought to implement minor revisions
to the MCHB Performance Measures for DGIS. Most of these measures are
specific to certain types of programs and are not required of all
grantees. The measures are categorized by domain (Adolescent Health,
Capacity Building, Child Health, Children with Special Health Care
Needs, Lifecourse/Crosscutting, Maternal/Women Health, and Perinatal/
Infant Health), in addition to some program-specific measures. Grant
programs are assigned domains based on their activities and individual
grantees respond to only a limited number of performance measures that
are relevant to their specific program.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The performance data
collected through the DGIS serves several purposes, including grantee
monitoring, program planning, performance reporting, and the ability to
demonstrate alignment between MCHB discretionary programs and the Title
V MCH Services Block Grant program. HRSA is making the following
changes to the current OMB package for MCHB DGIS to more closely align
data collection forms with current program activities:
Removing the following existing forms: Core 1 (Grant Impact),
Capacity Building 2 (Technical Assistance), Capacity Building 7 (Direct
Annual Access to Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Data), Training Form
13 (Diverse Adolescent Involvement (LEAH-specific)), Financial Form 2
(Project Funding Profile), and Financial Form 4 (Project Budget and
Expenditures);
Adding the following new form: Training Form 14 (Teleconsultation
and Training for Mental and Behavioral Health) and Leadership,
Education, and Advancement in Undergraduate Pathways Training Program
Trainee Information Form;
Revising the following existing forms: F2F (Family to Family Form
1), Financial Form 1 (MCHB Project Budget Details), Financial Form 4
(new name: MCH Discretionary Grant Project Abstract), and MCH Training
Program Data Forms;
Revising and Renumbering the following forms: Core 3 (Health
Equity) will become the new Core 1 (Health Equity), Financial Form 3
(Budget Details by Types of Individuals Served) will become the new
Financial Form 2 (Budget Details by Types of Individuals Served),
Financial Form 5 (Number of Individuals Served (Unduplicated)) will
become the new Financial Form 3 (Number of Individuals Served
(Unduplicated)), and Financial Form 6 (Project Abstract) will become
the new Financial Form 4 (Project Abstract); and
Renumbering the following forms: Core 2 (Quality Improvement) will
become the new Capacity Building 4 (Quality Improvement), Capacity
Building 3 (Impact Measurement) will become the new Capacity Building 2
(Impact Measurement), Capacity Building 4 (Sustainability) will become
the new Capacity Building 3 (Sustainability), and Training 14 (Medium-
Term Trainees Skill and Knowledge (PPC-Specific)) will become the new
Training 13 (Medium-Term Trainees Skill and Knowledge (PPC-Specific)).
Non-substantive revisions also include updates to terminology,
goals, benchmark data sources, and significance sections included in
the measures' detail sheets. A performance measure detail sheet defines
and describes each performance measure. Forms and detail sheets showing
the proposed revisions are available upon request.
This revision will facilitate more efficient and accurate reporting
of information related to capacity building activities, financial and
demographic data, and training activities.
Likely Respondents: The grantees for MCHB Discretionary Grant
Programs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (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.
