collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project
titled HIV Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Program: Data Management,
Monitoring, and Evaluation. This data collection aims to determine the
short- and long-term outcomes of the CDC HIV CBA program and support
continuous quality improvement.

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
HIV Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Program: Data Management,
[[Page 50846]]
Monitoring, and Evaluation--New--National Center for HIV, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests
approval of non-research program evaluation project that will be
conducted to evaluate the CDC HIV Capacity Building Assistance (CBA)
program funded under PS24-0020: Capacity Building Assistance for HIV
Prevention Programs to End the HIV Epidemic in the United States.
The CDC National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of HIV Prevention (DHP) is charged with
the mission to promote health and quality of life by preventing HIV
infection and reducing HIV-related illness and death in the United
States. CDC is a key partner in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.
(EHE) initiative, with the goal to reduce new HIV infections by at
least 90% by 2030. Toward this aim, DHP partners with and provides CBA
to health departments and community-based organizations (CBOs) to
improve both individual competencies and organizational capacity to
optimally plan, integrate, implement, and sustain comprehensive HIV
prevention programs.
This evaluation aims to assess the short- and long-term outcomes of
the HIV CBA program and to provide critical feedback that can be used
for continuous program quality improvement. The evaluation questions
and performance measures developed for this evaluation are guided by
the logic model outcomes documented in PS24-0020. The following
evaluation questions serve as the lens through which data collection
instruments were developed, data are analyzed, and results are used to
improve program activities:
What is the reach of the HIV CBA program?
What is the quality of the HIV CBA services provided?
To what extent do HIV CBA services contribute to improving the
knowledge, skills, and competency of the HIV prevention workforce?
To what extent does the HIV CBA program strengthen national
partnerships for CDC-funded health departments?
To what extent does the HIV CBA program improve capacity for
CDC-funded health departments and community-based organizations?
To what extent do CBA marketing efforts result in greater
awareness and utilization of CBA services?
These evaluation questions will be answered using pre-defined
performance measures that will be calculated leveraging data collected
through a combination of web-based applications and survey instruments
that require OMB review and approval prior to use. Web-based
applications include the CBA Tracking System (CTS)--a web-based
application that allows the HIV prevention workforce to request CBA
from the HIV CBA program--and CDC Train--a web-based learning
management system. The Post-CBA Survey and the CBA Follow-Up Survey
were developed and tailored to meet the evaluation needs of this
project. These surveys will be administered through CTS. The Post-CBA
Survey will be administered to all CBA participants after CBA has been
provided. The CBA Follow-Up Survey will be administered to respondents
of the Post-CBA Survey who indicate a role in implementation at set
three-month time periods. The following table illustrates the alignment
between evaluation questions, logic model outcomes, performance
measures, and data sources.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,668 annual burden
hours. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
