Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Global Public Health Data Innovation
Performance Monitoring'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on
February 9, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received two comments related to the previous notice.
This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and
affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
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 patient-
level 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.
