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 ``Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control
Research Centers (ICRC)'' 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
June 4, 2024 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
CDC received one non-substantive comment 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
Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control Research Centers
(ICRC)--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1987, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) began
funding Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs) at academic research
institutions throughout the United States. ICRCs focus on three core
functions--research, training, and outreach--for issues of local and
national importance, including the prevention of adverse childhood
experiences; child abuse and neglect; drowning; drug overdose; intimate
partner violence; older adult falls; sexual violence; suicide;
traumatic brain injuries, and the promotion of transportation safety.
ICRCs foster multidisciplinary strategies for addressing these complex
problems and disseminating research findings. In addition to conducting
cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research, ICRCs train and develop the
current and next generation of researchers and public health
professionals to help ensure that there is an adequate supply of
qualified practitioners and researchers for advancing prevention
research, addressing new problems, and reaching new populations across
the nation. Finally, ICRCs work with states and communities to
translate research findings into action. ICRCs provide partner
organizations with technical assistance on programs, public health
infrastructure, and the integration of resources at the local, state,
and national levels. Areas of emphasis within each ICRC are determined
by the expertise of the faculty and the public health needs and
opportunities identified through the ICRC's outreach activities. This
collaborative approach is a vital component in the success of efforts
to make an impact on population-level reduction in injury-related harm.
ICRCs form a national network of expertise and innovation in injury
prevention and control. ICRC grants are typically funded in five-year
funding cycles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
requests OMB approval to electronically collect annual progress report
(APR) information and Success Stories from the 11 currently funded
ICRCs. Grantees will report progress and activity information to CDC on
an annual schedule.
The information that will be collected will provide crucial data
for program performance monitoring and will improve CDC's ability to
respond in a timely manner to requests for information about the
program from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the
White House, Congress, and other sources. The
[[Page 90701]]
information that will be collected will also strengthen CDC's ability
to monitor grantee progress towards stated grant research, training,
and outreach objectives, provide data-driven technical assistance, and
disseminate Success Stories about what is working to reduce
unintentional and intentional injuries.
To improve and innovate through evaluation, research, and quality
improvement; investigate, diagnose, and address health hazards and root
causes; communicate effectively to inform and educate; strengthen,
support, and mobilize communities and partnerships; and create,
champion, and implement policies, plans, and laws are five of the noted
public health activities that all public health systems should
undertake. CDC ICRC grantees do all of these activities, and the
systematic collection of data, annually, is the best way for CDC to
understand this work. This APR information collection will enable
grantees to submit accurate, reliable, and timely activity and
performance data to the CDC.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 231 annual burden hours.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
