Proposed Project: Sickle Cell Disease Program Evaluations and Quality 
Improvement Activities--[NEW]

    The Sickle Cell Disease and Newborn Screening Program (SCDNBSP) and 
the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Program (SCDTDP) are 
both administered by the Genetic Services Branch (GSB) of the Division 
of Services for Children with Special Health Needs in the Health 
Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Maternal and Child 
Health Bureau (MCHB). The SCDTDP is comprised of geographically 
distributed regional networks that provide coordinated, comprehensive, 
culturally competent, and family-centered care to families with sickle 
cell disease and a national coordinating center to support grantee 
activities. The SCDTDP is designed to improve access to services for 
individuals with sickle cell disease, improve/expand patient and 
provider education, and improve/expand the continuity and coordination 
of service delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease and 
carriers of the sickle cell gene mutation. The SCDNBSP is comprised of 
several national funded community-based sickle cell disease networks 
located in the U.S. and the National Coordinating and Evaluation 
Center. The community-based sickle cell disease networks partner with 
State newborn screening programs, comprehensive sickle cell treatment 
centers, and health care professionals to provide support to infants 
screened positive for sickle cell disease, carriers of the sickle cell 
gene mutation and their families.
    HRSA seeks to conduct two evaluations (SCDTDP evaluation previously 
approved by OMB) and a quality improvement project, the purpose of 
which are to assess the service delivery processes and outcomes 
resulting from the systems of care delivered by the SCDNBSP and SCDTDP 
networks to individuals affected by sickle cell disease who present at 
their sites for care. The clients of the three programs will be the 
respondents for this data collection activity.
    The annual estimate of burden for both the SCDNBSP and the SCDTDP 
evaluations and quality improvement effort is as follows:
