Proposed Project

    Evaluating CDC Funded Health Department HIV Prevention Programs--
New--The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National 
Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), proposes a collection 
of standardized HIV evaluation data from health department grantees to 
ensure delivery of the best possible HIV prevention services. The CDC 
needs standardized evaluation data from health department grantees for 
the following reasons: (1) To determine the extent to which HIV 
prevention efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission, 
(2) to improve programs to better meet that goal, (3) to help focus 
technical assistance and support and (4) to be accountable to 
stakeholders by informing them of progress made in HIV prevention 
nationwide.
    CDC and its prevention partners have specifically identified the 
types of standardized evaluation data they need to be accountable for 
the use of federal funds and to conduct systematic analysis of HIV 
prevention to improve policies and programs. Generally, evaluation data 
that are needed (but not yet available at the national level) include 
the types and quality of HIV prevention interventions provided by CDC 
health department grantees and their grantees, the characteristics of 
clients targeted and reached by the interventions, and the effects of 
interventions on client behavior and HIV transmission.
    The annual burden hours are estimated to be 1248.
