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). 

CDC is requesting approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to interview 1,000 randomly 

selected HIV-infected persons in the 

United States who are not receiving care 

to determine: (1) Their reasons for not 

being in care; (2) information about any 

barriers to receiving care; and (3) 

treatment, and their clinical status (i.e., 

CD4 and HIV viral load levels). There 

are approximately 1 million HIVinfected 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. 

For this proposed data collection, 

areas participating in CDC’s Morbidity 

Monitoring Project (MMP) will identify 

HIV-infected people using their state’s 

HIV/AIDS surveillance and 

supplemental laboratory databases. 

Once HIV-infected people who are not 

in care are identified, an interview will 

be conducted. The information to be 

collected includes demographic data, 

HIV testing history, high-risk drug use 

and sexual behaviors, and reasons for 

not using health care and treatment. 

Results from this study will be used 

in conjunction with data from the 

Morbidity Monitoring Project to 

determine the extent of 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 will be used to design 

effective interventions for linking 

persons to care. 

Participation in the data collection is 

voluntary and there is no cost to 

respondents to participate in the survey 

other than their time.

Title: Compassion Capital Fund 

Evaluation—Initial Outcome Study. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: This proposed 

information collection activity is for an 

initial outcome study that is one 

component of the evaluation of the 

Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) 

program. The information collection 

will be through mailed surveys to be 

completed by selected faith-based and 

community organizations that received 

sub-awards from CCF grantees. The CCF 

grantees are intermediary organizations 

that provide capacity building services 

to faith-based and community 

organizations. 

The CCF evaluation is an important 

opportunity to examine the outcomes 

and effectiveness of the Compassion 

Capital Fund in meeting its objective of 

improving the capacity of faith-based 

and community organizations. This 

initial outcome study component of the 

evaluation will involve approximately 

180 faith-based and community 

organizations. Information will be 

sought from these organizations to 

assess change and improvement in 

various areas of capacity resulting from 

receipt of sub-awards. 

Respondents: The respondents will be 

selected faith-based and community 

organizations that received sub-awards 

in 2003 from nine selected CCF 

intermediary grantees. The surveys will 

be self-administered.
