Proposed Project

    1. HIV Prevention Programs in National/Regional Minority and Other 
Community Based Organizational Project Reports (0920-0249)--
Reinstatement--National Centers for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention 
(NCHSTP)--CDC funds National/Regional Minority Organizations and 
Community Based Organizations to conduct HIV prevention programs. This 
data collection approves the submission of quarterly narrative reports 
for HIV prevention programs developed by funded for National/Regional 
Minority Organizations and Community Based Organizations. These 
requires quarterly progress reports provided CDC with the necessary 
information to monitor program performance and accurately document 
activities that occur in these organizations funded under CDC.
    Reports allow CDC to identify problems and technical assistance 
needs of grantees in a timely fashion and subsequently improve the 
effectiveness of project activities and progress toward national goals. 
They also assist CDC, by discerning and refining national goals and 
objectives in the prevention of HIV. The process of preparing quarterly 
reports is a valuable tool for examining program performance by 
assessing strengths and weaknesses in line with programmatic goals and 
national objectives. In addition these reports serve as technology 
transfer tools to identify what interventions work and can be 
duplicated to be used as a model for other national/regional minority 
and community based organizations.
    The estimated annualized cost per respondent is $231.60 for 
national and regional minority organizations and $207.72 for community 
based organizations based.
