Proposed Project 

National Survey of 911 Emergency 

Treatment for Heart Disease and Stroke 

—New—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The purpose of this project is to 

enhance CDC’s understanding of 

emergency medical services (EMS) 

administration and oversight, identify 

important stakeholders for partnering 

and cooperation, and gather data on 

heart disease and stroke emergency 

treatment protocols in use. This project 

will fill an important gap in CDC’s 

understanding of heart disease and 

stroke emergency medical care by 

providing detailed information from a 

sample of EMS organizations on 

operational resources, configurations of 

certification levels, treatment protocols 

and performance measures, and other 

significant issues at a local and state 

level in 9 states (FL, MA, KS, MT, NM, 

PA, OR, SC, AR), in order to ultimately 

contribute to the development and 

implementation of best practices for 

emergency treatment of heart disease 

and stroke. 

The objectives of the data collection 

are to prepare a comprehensive 

description of the ‘‘state of the practice’’

of pre-hospital emergency medical 

services related to cardiac and stroke 

care. This will include organizational 

and administrative aspects of EMS at 

state, sub-state district, and local levels, 

major public and private stakeholders in 

the conduct of EMS, technical support 

issues, and practices related to positive 

outcomes in pre-hospital cardiac and 

stroke emergency care. Data analysis 

will include a compilation of the 

practices in use and comparison of 

organizational and administrative 

configurations. 

Data collection includes: (1) A 

telephone survey with a random sample 

of 250 local EMS agency supervisors 

(total N=2,250) in each of 9 States on the 

status of capabilities represented and 

treatment protocols used in EMS 

organizations related to cardiac and 

stroke care; (2) in-person interviews 

with state level EMS officials (e.g., State 

EMS Director, State EMS Medical 

Director, or public health agency 

representative) (N=18) who are involved 

in policy and practice of the EMS 

system in the state and, (3) telephone 

interviews with a purposive sample five 

sub-state level EMS officials (e.g., 

county or district directors) (N=45) in 

each of the 9 states to examine 

responsibilities and objectives at a substate level for the state’s EMS system. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Integrating HIV and Other Prevention 

Services into Reproductive Health and 

Other Community Settings On-Line 

Performance Reporting System—New—

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Integrating HIV and Other Prevention 

Services into Reproductive Health and 

Other Community Settings is a training 

project of the CDC, National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion, and its grantees, their ten 

family planning regional training 

centers. The project requires twice 

yearly reports from its grantees (each of 

whom corresponds to one of the ten 

federal public health regions), on their 

training-centered intervention activities. 

CDC guidelines also obligate grantees, 

under cooperative agreements to 

provide such performance reporting. To 

facilitate grantees’ compliance with 

performance reporting requirements, a 

secure online performance reporting 

system has been designed to capture 

training activity information, an 

indicator of consistent and measurable 

project progress. Each grantee enters 

and edits their own training activity 

data and generates project evaluation 

documents and semi-annual reports on 

the Internet. CDC will use the reported 

data to assess project progress towards 

achieving its objectives: 

1. Measurable information about 

grantees’ prevention training activities. 

2. Evaluate prevention training needs, 

complexity, diversity, and availability. 

3. Comparisons between the trained 

population and the general population 

of the local area. 

4. Evaluate special cultural and 

regional needs. 

5. Describe the complexity of the 

trained workforce. 

6. Grant grantees access to on-line 

data reports. 

Grantees’ semi-annual performance 

reports are due April 30 and October 30 

during each year of the 5-year 

cooperative agreement. Using the online system, grantees enter data during 

each reporting period, then, generate a 

copy of their training report. Next, by 

the specified dates, grantees deliver this 

performance report and their nonstructured narrative report, which 

explains additions, deletions, changes, 

and redirections of training objectives or 

activities, to CDC’s Procurement and 

Grants Office. 

Grantees’ on-line performance reports 

incorporate the following: 

A. Log-in information.
