Information Collection Request Title: Rapid Uptake of Disseminated
Interventions (RUDI) Evaluation OMB No. 0915-xxxx--[New].
Abstract: HRSA has dedicated significant resources and effort to
developing novel intervention strategies aimed at eliminating
disparities and improving HIV-related health outcomes for people with
HIV. HRSA encourages and supports Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)
providers to implement interventions developed through its Special
Projects of National Significance (RWHAP Part F SPNS) program and
technical assistance initiatives that have been found to be effective,
with adaptations for priority populations served as applicable. HRSA
disseminates its RWHAP Part F SPNS and technical assistance initiative
resources and products across a variety of dissemination channels,
hoping to reach a maximum number of RWHAP recipients and subrecipients
for whom these resources may meet an important need. This mixed-methods
Rapid Uptake of Disseminated Interventions (RUDI) evaluation will use a
web-based survey and virtual site visits to collect information from
RWHAP recipients and subrecipients on the uptake, utility, and efficacy
of the resources and products HRSA disseminates; the effectiveness of
its dissemination processes; and the reach of its dissemination
channels. HRSA will use the information to identify opportunities for
strengthening its dissemination channels and resources to improve care
and health outcomes for program participants.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Currently, HRSA does not
systematically gather information about the resources accessed by RWHAP
providers, RWHAP recipients, or AIDS Education and Training Center
(AETC) staff and the extent to which they use those resources to inform
implementation of interventions.
The mixed-methods RUDI evaluation will help HRSA systematically
assess and understand (1) how, where, and why recipients of RWHAP
funding access and use its disseminated resources and products; and (2)
the utility and effectiveness of the disseminated resources and
products in caring for and treating people with HIV. HRSA will use the
findings from the RUDI evaluation to develop strategies to maximize the
uptake and impact of its disseminated resources and products,
contributing to ending the HIV epidemic in the United States.
Likely Respondents: The mixed-methods RUDI evaluation includes a
web-based survey of all RWHAP recipients and subrecipients nationally,
individual interviews with a sample of RWHAP recipients, virtual site
visits with a sample of RWHAP providers, and individual interviews with
all AETCs. The RUDI web-based survey design includes two versions of
the survey that will be administered to non-overlapping respondents--
the RUDI Recipients Survey for RWHAP Part A and B recipient
administrative entities--and the RUDI Providers Survey for Part A and B
subrecipients and Part C, D, and F recipients who provide direct care.
Both versions ask about respondents' use of HRSA-disseminated
resources, how they were helpful, what could be improved, and reasons
for non-use where applicable. In addition, the RUDI Recipients Survey
asks about the recipients' role in guiding their subrecipients to
needed resources, and the RUDI Providers Survey asks about the
recipients' experience implementing interventions for which they used
the resources. Both surveys are designed to be followed up with
additional sets of interviews with a sample of the survey respondents
to provide deeper understanding of their experience to support
development of actionable recommendations pertaining to dissemination.
Virtual site visits to RWHAP providers include interviews with an
average of three staff within each provider organization that were part
of an intervention implementation with assistance from HRSA resources.
Individual interviews for Part A and B recipient administrative
entities and AETCs will generate a complete picture of how those
organizations use HRSA resources and how the resources or their
dissemination could be improved for the future, especially when
considered together with the survey responses and virtual site visit
data from the RWHAP providers.
Burden Statement: Burden in the context of this study means the
time that persons expend to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, and
provide the requested information. 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.
