Proposed Project 

Preventive Health and Health Services 

Block Grant—Extension—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The PHHS Block Grant program was 

established to provide awardees with a 

source of flexible funding for health 

promotion and disease prevention 

programs. Currently, 61 awardees (50 

States, the District of Columbia, two 

American Indian Tribes, and eight U.S. 

territories) receive block grants to 

address locally-defined public health 

needs in innovative ways. Block Grants 

allow awardees to prioritize the use of 

funds and to fill funding gaps in 

programs that deal with the leading 

causes of death and disability. Block 

Grant funding also provides awardees 

with the ability to respond rapidly to 

emerging health issues, including 

outbreaks of diseases or pathogens. The 

PHHS Block Grant program is 

authorized by sections 1901–1907 of the 

Public Health Service Act. 

As specified in the authorizing 

legislation, CDC currently collects 

information from Block Grant awardees 

to monitor their objectives and activities 

(Preventive Health and Health Services 

Block Grant, OMB No. 0920–0106, exp. 

8/31/2011). Each awardee is required to 

submit an annual application for 

funding (Work Plan) that describes its 

objectives and the populations to be 

addressed, and an Annual Report that 

describes activities and progress. 

Information is submitted electronically 

through the Web-based Block Grant 

Information Management System 

(BGMIS). The BGMIS is designed to 

support Block Grant requirements 

specified in the program’s authorizing 

legislation, such as adherence to the 

Healthy People (HP) framework. The 

current version of the BGMIS associates 

each awardee-defined activity with a 

specific HP National Objective, and 

identifies the location where funds are 

applied. Information items are broken 

down into discrete fields. Each objective 

is defined in SMART format (Specific, 

Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and 

Time-based), and includes a specified 

start date and end date. 

CDC requests OMB approval to 

continue the information collection, 

without changes, for two years (through 

8/31/2013). During this time, the CDC 

Block Grant program office will 

complete an internal planning process 

and replace the current Healthy People 

2010 objectives with Healthy People 

2020 objectives. CDC plans to submit a 

Revision request when decisions about 

the new awardee performance measures 

and updated BGMIS data elements are 

finalized. 

During the period of this two-year 

Extension request, CDC will continue to 

use the BGMIS, without changes, to 

monitor awardee progress, identify 

activities and personnel supported with 

Block Grant funding, conduct 

compliance reviews of Block Grant 

awardees, and promote the use of 

evidence-based guidelines and 

interventions. There will be no changes 

to the number of respondents or the 

BGMIS data elements. However, since 

awardees can prepare upcoming 

submissions by modifying information 

already entered into the system, the 

estimated annual burden per respondent 

will decrease from 55 hours to 35 hours 

(a reduction of 5 hours per response for 

the Work Plan, and 15 hours per
