Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program Part F Regional AIDS Education and Training Center Program
Activities, OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New.
Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program's (RWHAP) AIDS Education
and Training Center (AETC) Program, authorized under Title XXVI of the
Public Health Service Act, supports a network of regional centers that
conduct targeted, multi-disciplinary education and training programs
for health care providers treating people with HIV. The RWHAP Regional
AETC Program's purpose is to increase the number of health care
providers who are effectively educated and motivated to counsel,
diagnose, treat, and medically manage people with HIV. The RWHAP
Regional AETC Program recipients are required to report data on the
training activities and trainees to HRSA once a year. HRSA is
requesting the approval of new AETC data collection forms to accurately
capture data relating to Regional AETC activities, participants, and
site information for both Practice Transformation (PT) and
Interprofessional Education (IPE) sites as well as involvement in the
HIV care and treatment workforce (1-year post-participation), knowledge
gained through participating in an activity, and
[[Page 58745]]
satisfaction with the activity. The RWHAP Regional AETC Program
recipients will gather data on the training activities they conduct
using six data collection instruments. The Individual Participant
Record is completed at least once every reporting period by
participants actively engaging in Regional AETC activities. This form
includes Regional AETC participant demographic, workplace, and client-
served data for the participant's respective provider sites. The
Training Activity Record is a form completed at the end of each
Regional AETC activity that takes place during the reporting period and
is completed by the regional recipients. This form describes the
activity in hours, modality, and topic(s). The PT Site Characteristics/
Outcomes form collects site characteristics information for PT
recipient sites only, like clinic activities and procedures, and
aggregate counts of clients. PT sites provide clinical services and
differ from IPE sites that support students, thus necessitating a
different form. The IPE Site Characteristics/Outcomes form collects
site characteristics information for IPE recipient sites only. The
Participant Post-Activity Immediate Survey collects information from
participants immediately after an activity, specifically, their
satisfaction and potential increased knowledge due to participating in
said activity. The IPE Long-Term form collects 1-year post-
participation information from participant students who engaged in an
IPE program to gauge involvement in the field of HIV care and
treatment.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the data
collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to
determine future program needs. These data allow HRSA to identify where
gaps exist in training HIV professionals as well as to measure whether
training activities are meeting the goals of the National HIV/AIDS
Strategy and the RWHAP statute.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Regional AETC participants complete the
Individual Participant Record at least once a reporting period.
Regional AETC recipients complete a Training Activity Record for each
training activity they conduct during the reporting period. All
Regional AETC participants will take the Participant Post-Activity
Survey immediately after any attended activity. The IPE Long-Term form
will only be completed by participants who engaged in an IPE program,
1-year post-participation in the IPE program. Finally, PT recipients
will complete the PT Site Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once
per reporting period, and IPE recipients will complete the IPE Site
Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period.
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.
