(such as 18–35), or patients enrolled in limited scale quality improvement projects.

The estimated burden for completing the nomination form is 30 minutes.

Amount of the Prize: Up to a total of 20 of highest scoring individual clinicians, clinical practices or health systems will be recognized as Million Hearts ® Hypertension Control Champions and will receive a cash award of $2,000. A maximum of $40,000 will be awarded in this challenge.

Payment of the Prize: Prizes awarded under this challenge will be paid by electronic funds transfer and may be subject to Federal income taxes. HHS will comply with the Internal Revenue Service withholding and reporting requirements, where applicable.

Basis Upon Which Winner Will Be Selected:

The nomination will be scored based on hypertension control rate (95% of score); and sustainable systems in the practice that support hypertension control (5% of score).

Nominees with the highest score will be required to participate in a two-phase process to verify their data. Nomineeswho are non-compliant or nonresponsive with the data requests or timelines will be removed from further consideration. Phase 1 includes verification of the hypertension prevalence and blood pressure control rate data submitted and a background check. For nominees whose Phase 1 data is verified as accurate, phase 2 consists of a medical chart review. National Quality Forum Measure #0018 for controlling high blood pressure will be used to evaluate the submitted data. Details about NQF 0018 can be found at http://www.qualityforum.org/QPS/0018.

A CDC-sponsored panel of three to five experts consisting of HHS/CDC staff will review the nominations that pass the verification to select Champions. Final selection will take into account all the information from the nomination form, the background check, and data verification. Geographic location and population treated may be used to break ties in the event of tie scores at any point in the selection process.

Some Champions will participate in a post-challenge telephone interview. The interview will include questions about the strategies employed by the individual or organization to achieve high rates of hypertension control, including barriers and facilitators for those strategies. The interview will focus on systems and processes and should not require preparation time by the Champion. The estimated time for the interview is two hours, which includes time to review the interview protocol with the interviewer, respond to the interview questions, and review a summary data about the Champion’s practices. The summary will be written as a success story and will be posted on the Million Hearts ® Web site.

Additional Information: Information received from nominees will be stored in a password protected file on a secure server. The challenge Web site may post the number of nominations received but will not include information about individual nominees. The database of information submitted by nominees will not be posted on the Web site. Information collected from nominees will include general details, such as the business name, address, and contact information of the nominee. This type of information is generally publically available. The nomination will collect and store only aggregate clinical data through the nomination process; no individual identifiable patient data will be collected or stored. Confidential or propriety data, clearly marked as such, will be secured to the full extent allowable by law.

Information for selected Champions, such as the provider, practice, or health system’s name, location, hypertension control rate, and clinic practices that support hypertension control will be shared through press releases, the challenge Web site, and Million Hearts ® and HHS/CDC resources.

Summary data on the types of systems and processes that all nominees use to control hypertension may be shared in documents or other communication products that describe generally used practices for successful hypertension control. HHS/CDC will use the summary data only as described.

Compliance With Rules and Contacting Contest Winners:

Finalists and Champions must comply with all terms and conditions of these official rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements herein. The initial finalists will be notified by email, telephone, or mail after the date of the judging.

Privacy: Personal information provided by entrants on the nomination form through the challenge Web site will be used to contact selected finalists. Information is not collected for commercial marketing. Winners are permitted to cite that they won this challenge.

The names, cities, and states of selected Champions will be made available in promotional materials and at recognition events.

General Conditions: The HHS/CDC reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify the challenge, or any part of it, for any reason, at HHS/CDC’s sole discretion.

Title: Maternal and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE) Check-In project—Update contact information, consent forms, child and family outcomes survey.

OMB No.: 0970–0402.

The purpose of the MIHOPE Check-In project is to maintain up-to-date contact information for families that participated in MIHOPE (the national evaluation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program), so it is possible to conduct future follow-up studies and assess the potential long-term impact of the program. In addition to contact information, the MIHOPE Check-In project will also maintain up-to-date consent forms for the collection of administrative data and administer a brief survey on child and family

outcomes.

Respondents: Adult participants in MIHOPE and adult primary caregivers of children who participated in MIHOPE.
