Proposed Project

    Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) Capacity Assessment--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    While much has been learned about the development of the 
Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) plans, little is known about: (1) 
CCC grantee activities; (2) organizational capacity to plan, implement, 
or evaluate CCC efforts; and (3) essential elements of implementing CCC 
plans. CDC, through an evaluation contract will assess these three 
components of the CCC Program. This assessment focuses on the second 
component of the evaluation. The purpose of the capacity assessment is 
to ascertain the capacity of states, territories and tribal 
organizations to plan, implement and evaluate CCC efforts.
    A Web-based survey will be used to collect descriptive information 
from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 8 territories, and 15 
tribes on six critical areas of capacity (funding, staffing, data, 
partnerships, leadership and organizational support.) CCC Program 
Managers or chronic disease Directors will complete the survey, with 
assistance from other staff or partner organizations as needed. A total 
of 74 managers or directors will be asked to complete the survey, which 
is expected to take an average of 2 hours to complete. Other staff or 
partner organizations assisting respondents in completing the survey 
will spend 15 minutes, on average, providing information. Respondents 
who indicate that particular CCC activities are not in place will be 
contacted by telephone to explore issues, barriers, and future plans. 
We estimate that these telephone calls will be made to one-third of 
respondents and will take an average of 30 minutes to complete. The 
only cost to respondents is their time. This is a one-time data 
collection effort.
