Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program Part F National 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 national centers that
conduct targeted, multi-disciplinary education and training programs
for health care providers treating people with HIV. The RWHAP National
AETC Program's purpose is to increase the number of health care
providers who are effectively educated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and
medically manage people with HIV. The national AETC Program comprises
five distinct centers: (1) National AIDS Education and Training Center
Support Center (NASC), (2) National Clinician Consultation Center
(NCCC), (3) National HIV Curriculum (NHC) e-Learning Platform, (4)
Integrating the National HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform into Health
Care Professions (NHC-IP) Programs, and (5) HIV Clinical Training
Tracks for Primary Care Residents (HTR).
NCCC provides expert guidance to clinicians on HIV testing,
prevention (e.g., pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis/), treatment,
hepatitis coinfections, perinatal HIV care, and substance use
management through a national toll-free call center staffed by HIV
experts. NHC offers comprehensive e-learning modules and tools for HIV
prevention, diagnosis, and care, while providing free continuing
education credits and resources for healthcare providers. NHC-IP
focuses on incorporating HIV training into medical, nursing, and
pharmacy curricula to prepare future healthcare professionals. The HTR
initiative develops HIV-focused tracks within primary care residency
programs, and NASC supports workforce training and resource
coordination for the AETC Program to enhance HIV care delivery.
The RWHAP National AETC Program recipients have extensive reach to
the HIV workforce. For example, from 2022-2023, NCCC supported 8,433
callers; NASC website had over 57,286 users; NASC had 355 registrants
for the RWHAP Clinical Conference; NHC engaged 14,260 individuals
through online curriculum and learning modules; and Integrating the
NHC-IP supported 178 students and 12 faculty (``students and faculty''
is also referred in this document as SF). The HTR program is new as of
2024, so data is not yet available. The RWHAP National AETC Program
recipients are now required to report data on training activities and
trainees to HRSA once a year; they were not required to report data to
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau previously.
HRSA is requesting the approval of new AETC data collection forms
to obtain more accurate data relating to National AETC activities,
participants, and site information for all National recipients (NASC,
NCCC, NHC, NHC-IP, and HTR). In addition, these forms will capture
National AETC involvement in the HIV care and treatment workforce (1-
year post-participation in an HTR), knowledge gained through
participating in an AETC activity, and satisfaction with that activity.
Given the distinct functions of each center, it is essential to develop
tailored forms specific to each center's respective activities and its
participants. Each center will be required to submit no more than five
forms (see table 1 below). Different forms are necessary to accommodate
the distinct activities and focus areas of each center. To ensure
accurate and comprehensive data collection, these forms must be
customized to meet the specific needs of each national center. A brief
description of each form follows.
<bullet> The National Individual Participant Record (National IND-
PAR) is completed at least once every reporting period by participants
actively engaging in NASC, NHC, and HTR AETC activities. This form
includes NASC, NHC, and HRT AETC participant demographic, workplace,
and client-served data for the respective recipient. The IND-PAR is
broken up into sections (NASC/all, NHC, and HTR) so that recipients can
tailor the form to include the relevant questions (e.g., NHC would
include questions from the ``NASC/all'' section as well as the NHC
section).
<bullet> The NCCC IND-PAR is completed at least once every
reporting period by NCCC callers. This form is shorter as it is only
administered orally to those who call into NCCC.
<bullet> The Training Activity Record (National TAR) is completed
at the end of each National AETC activity that takes place during the
reporting period and is completed only by NASC, NHC, and NCCC national
recipients. This form describes the activity in hours, modality, and
topic(s).
<bullet> There are many Participant Post-Activity Surveys (PPA) to
be answered by recipients and activity-specific participants.
Specifically, the NASC-RWHAP-PPA is for participants of the RWHAP
Clinical Conference to complete post-attendance; the HTR-SF-PPA is for
students and faculty of HTR programs to complete post-participation;
the NCCC-PPA will be administered orally and is for NCCC callers; the
NHC-PPA is for registered learners of NHC after completing a self-study
lesson or question bank topic from NHC; and the NHC-SF-PPA is for
students and faculty of NHC-IPs to complete at the end of any course in
which the NHC has been integrated. These forms collect information from
participants immediately upon completion of an activity hosted by a
national AETC.
<bullet> The NHC-IP Health Profession Program Characteristics/
Outcomes Form (NHC-IP-HC) collects descriptive NHC Health Profession
Program-level data for programs that integrate NHC into their
curricula.
<bullet> The HTR Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form (HTR-PC)
collects descriptive HRT-level data for all HTR programs, such as
number of residents trained by profession/discipline during the
reporting period.
<bullet> The HTR Long-Term form collects 1-year post-participation
information only from HTR resident participants who engaged in an HTR
program that trains primary care providers who are likely to practice
in communities most impacted and at-risk for HIV.
<bullet> There are some forms that will be used to collect web-
analytic information related to the NASC website (i.e., NASC Web
Analytics Form), NHC website (i.e., NHC Training Utilization and Web
Analytics Form), and related to consultation call topics discussed
(i.e., NCCC Tele-Consultation Utilization Form).

AETC Recipient.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All forms for the national AETC package by national center recipient,
some forms may be used by multiple recipients.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the data
collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to
determine future program needs and program progress towards its
objectives. 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 National AETC participants who attend
activities hosted by NASC, NCCC, NHC, and HTR complete the Individual
Participant Record at least once a reporting period (July 1-June 30).
NASC and NCCC AETC recipients complete a Training Activity Record for
each training activity they conduct during the reporting period.
Participants who engage in recipient-specific activities will take the
activity-specific Participant Post-Activity Survey (e.g., participants
of the RWHAP Clinical Conference will take the NASC-RWHAP-PPA).
Resident participants in the HTR program will complete the HTR Long-
Term form 1-year post-participation in the program. Finally, the NHC-IP
recipients will complete the NHC-IP Health Profession Program
Characteristics/Outcomes at least once per reporting period, and HTR
recipients will complete the HTR Program 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. Due to the unique nature of
the national AETCs, an additional column titled ``Type of Respondent''
was added to the table to indicate which national center respondent
would be using the form in question. A form may be listed more than
once because the form itself has recipient/respondent-specific
sections. Providing this additional information allows the burden
estimates to be more accurate to the respondent.
