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 RFA 

#04003 (FY 2003–2009) for the 

Prevention Research Centers Program. 

The RFA introduced a set of 

performance indicators developed 

collaboratively with the 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 RFA 

process. PRCs are housed in a school of 

public health, medicine, or osteopathy 

and conduct health promotion and 

disease prevention research using a 

community-based participatory 

approach. 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) is seeking a 3 year 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval for an extension of a 

reporting system for the Prevention 

Research Centers Program Information 

System. In accordance with the original 

OMB approval (0920–0650), the 

modification approved September 2005 

(to add work plans and progress reports 

and to increase burden from 28 PRCs to 

33 PRCs), and the modification 

approved November 2006 (to delete, 

modify, and add questions related to the 

performance indicators with no change 

in burden), 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 the same as the 

modification approved September 2005. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time to participate in the 

survey. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 279.

Proposed Project 

Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related 

Events Among Persons Not Receiving 

Care-New-National Center for HIV, STD, 

and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

A committee from the Institute of 

Medicine (IOM) recently reviewed, at 

the request of Congress, the status of 

HIV/AIDS surveillance in the U.S. In the 

resulting report, three populations of 

interest were outlined, including 

persons infected with HIV, who have a 

diagnosis of HIV but are not receiving 

care. 

There are approximately 1 million 

HIV-infected persons in the United 

States. Of these, an estimated 75 percent 

know they are infected, but 

approximately half of those who know 

they are infected do not have evidence 

of having received any medical care for 

their HIV infection. Existing HIV/AIDS 

surveillance systems provide little 

information about HIV-infected persons 

who are not receiving care, especially 

those who have never entered care. In 

addition, an estimate of the size and 

immunologic status of the latter group is 

critically important for estimating 

resources needed to support linkage to 

care. Furthermore, identifying factors 

related to not being linked to care will 

be important in designing effective 

interventions. 

Based on the IOM recommendations 

and to address the needs described 

above, CDC is working with state and 

local health departments in five project 

areas to pilot a population-based 

supplemental surveillance system, 

‘‘Surveillance of HIV/AIDS Related 

Events Among Persons Not Receiving 

Care,’’ also called the Never In Care 

(NIC) Project. The NIC Project is 

designed to describe HIV-infected 

persons who are at least 90 days post 

diagnosis and have never received HIV 

care. The project will be conducted over 

a three-year period and will obtain data 

on a total of 1,000 persons 

(approximately 500 per year) with HIV/ 

AIDS. The data collection will include 

interview-based data only. 

The methods were developed in light 

of recommendations from the IOM, an 

earlier population-based survey of 

persons receiving care for HIV infection, 

and earlier CDC pilots of populationbased methods. 

For this proposed data collection, 

participating public health jurisdictions 

will conduct structured interviews with 

HIV-infected persons identified using 

their HIV/AIDS surveillance and 

supplemental laboratory databases or 

through HIV diagnostic and case 

management service providers. The 

target number of structured interviews 

is 1,000 over 2 years of data collection. 

Qualitative interviews will be 

conducted with the first 75 persons who 

agree to a second interview. The 

information to be collected includes 

demographic data, HIV testing history, 

high-risk drug use and sexual behaviors, 

reasons for not using health care and 

treatment, and unmet needs. 

Results from this project will be used 

to develop estimates of the medical 

services and resources needed for 

persons who are infected with HIV, but 

who have not received medical care and 

treatment. Additionally, new data 

related to those not receiving care may 

be used to design effective interventions 

for linking persons to care. The data will 

have implications for policy, program 

development, and resource allocation at 

the state/local and national levels. 

Users of NIC data include, but are not 

limited to, Federal agencies, state and 

local health departments, clinicians, 

researchers, and HIV prevention and 

care planning groups. Participation in 

the data collection is voluntary and 

there is no cost to respondents to 

participate in the survey other than their 

time. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours is 325.
