SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
CDC-RFA-DP-23-0002 Healthy Schools Program Evaluation--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC awarded funds through cooperative agreement DP23-0002 (2302
Program) to 20 funding recipients (States, universities, and a Tribal
nation) to improve health, academic achievement, and well-being of
students in K-12 schools. A portion of the funding within each State is
allocated to one priority local education agency (LEA) and its
corresponding schools to support the implementation of policies,
practices, and programs to increase physical activity, healthy dietary
behaviors, and management of chronic health conditions among students.
CDC is conducting a mixed-methods multi-level evaluation of the 2302
Program and associated outcomes. Evaluation findings will allow CDC to
help recipients improve their programs as they progress over the five-
year funding period. A CDC evaluation contractor will collect
information from relevant funded recipients, priority LEAs, schools,
and students. Program monitoring information will be collected from
recipients via a monthly reporting tool. Descriptions of the
implementation of the program's two strategies and nine activities will
be collected in years two and four via semi-structured, virtual key
informant interviews with program leaders among funded recipients and
their priority LEA colleagues to understand successes, barriers, and
lessons learned. Additionally, two annual questionnaires will be
distributed either digitally (web-based) and/or on paper. One of the
questionnaires is for school-level leaders in participating schools in
the 20 priority LEAs focusing on implementation of healthy school
policies, practices, and programs. The other questionnaire is for
students in elementary, middle, and high schools (grades 4-12) in the
priority LEAs' schools focusing on physical activity, dietary
behaviors, management of chronic health conditions, and well-being and
academic attainment. The evaluation results will help recipients
improve their programs and aid CDC in understanding and communicating
the impact of its funding. We
CDC requests approval for the period of three years, with an
anticipated request for an extension after that to cover the full five
years of the program. The annual estimated total time burden to
participants is 810 hours. There are no anticipated financial costs to
participants other than their time to participate.
