Proposed Project 

Prevention Research Center 

Information System—Extension—

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description: 

In spring 2003, CDC published 

Program Announcement #04003 (FY 

2003–2009) for the Prevention Research 

Centers Program. The Program 

Announcement introduced a set of 

performance indicators developed 

collaboratively with the Prevention 

Research Centers (PRCs) and other 

stakeholders and are consistent with 

federal requirements that all agencies, in 

response to the Government 

Performance and Results Act of 1993, 

prepare performance plans and collect 

program-specific performance measures. 

Currently, CDC provides funding to 33 

PRCs selected through competitive peer 

review process and managed as CDC 

cooperative agreements. Awards are 

made for five (5) years and may be 

renewed through a competitive process. 

PRCs are housed in a school of public 

health, medicine, or osteopathy and 

conduct health promotion and disease 

prevention research using a communitybased participatory approach. 

In accordance with the current OMB 

approval for the Prevention Research 

Centers (PRC) Information System, 

(OMB 0920–0650, expiration 

November 30, 2007), this requested 3 

year extension will continue the data 

collection as approved. The Information 

System (IS) is a web-based, password 

protected technical reporting system 

that allows the accurate, uniform, and 

complete collection of PRC information 

using the Internet. The IS allows CDC to 

monitor and report on PRC activities 

efficiently and effectively. Data reported 

to CDC through the PRC IS are used to 

identify training and technical 

assistance needs, monitor compliance 

with cooperative agreement 

requirements, evaluate the progress 

made in achieving center-specific goals 

and objectives, and obtain information 

needed to describe the impact and 

effectiveness of the overall program as 

needed to respond to Congressional and 

other inquiries regarding the PRC 

Program. The annual report and record 

keeping burden is essentially the same 

as the currently approved Information 

Collection. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time to participate in the 

survey.

Proposed Project 

Formative Research to inform the 

development of new recommendations 

for Human Immunodeficiency Virus 

(HIV), Counseling, Testing, and Referral 

in non-health care settings—NewNational Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 

Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Coordinating Center for 

Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This project involves formative 

research to elicit consumer opinions on 

HIV counseling, testing, and referral 

(CTR) in non-health care settings. The 

study entails conducting focus groups 

with persons who are either HIV 

positive or at risk for HIV because of 

their drug injection or sexual behavior. 

The purpose of the focus groups is to 

explore: (1) Facilitators and barriers to 

using CTR services in non-health care 

settings; (2) ideal service components to 

decrease barriers to early diagnosis, 

decrease risk behaviors, link clients 

with follow-up care, and ensure client 

rights; (3) perceived risks and benefits of 

CTR; and (4) preferences for providing 

informed consent. 

CDC will use study findings to inform 

the development of new 

recommendations for HIV CTR in nonhealth care settings. We expect a total of 

450 participants to be screened for 

eligibility. Of the 450 participants who 

are screened, we expect that 180 people 

will participate in a focus group. There 

are no costs to the respondents other 

than their time.
