Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210 or send an e-mail 
to [email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Human 
Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room

Proposed Project

    CDC HIV Prevention Capacity-Building Assistance (CBA) Information 
Collection, Reporting and Monitoring Forms--New--National Center for 
HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background

    CDC is requesting a 3-year clearance for information collection 
forms to monitor the HIV prevention activities of CBA provider grantees 
funded by CDC from 2004 to 2009. These forms will be used to collect 
information that assists in monitoring CBA services and activities. CDC 
is responsible for monitoring and evaluating HIV prevention activities 
conducted under these cooperative agreements. This requires that CDC 
have current information regarding the progress of CBA activities and 
services supported through these cooperative agreements. Therefore, 
forms such as the Trimester Interim Progress Report, CBA Notification 
Form, CBA Completion Form and the CBA Training Events Report are 
considered a critical component of the monitoring and evaluation 
process. Since this program will encompass approximately 34 CBA 
provider organizations, there is a need for a standardized system for 
reporting individual episodes of CBA delivered by all CBA provider 
grantees. The collection of data will help CDC discern and refine 
national goals and objectives in the prevention of HIV.

[[Page 59929]]

    CBA providers will be required to submit CBA Trimester Progress 
Reports (form A). The purpose of the CBA Trimester Progress Report is 
to describe CBA undertaken during the previous four months. The 
Trimester Progress Report will be a narrative on the programs' 
successes and barriers; process and outcome monitoring data; 
collaborative and cooperative activities with other organizations; and 
plans for future activities.
    To effectively track and monitor all requests for capacity-building 
assistance, CBA providers will be required to submit a CBA Notification 
Form (form B) following each contact with a community based 
organization (CBO) or HIV prevention stakeholder for CBA services. The 
purpose of this form is to track all requests for services from CBOs, 
health departments and stakeholders. Requests for CBA from these CBOs 
and stakeholders are received by CBA providers on an on-going basis.
    CBA providers will also be required to submit a CBA Completion Form 
(form C) following each episode of CBA service delivered to all CBOs 
and stakeholders. The purpose of this form is to provide feedback and 
follow-up information to CDC Project Officers on the types of CBA 
services and quality of services that were delivered to all CBOs by CBA 
providers. CBA requests from CBOs, health departments, and stakeholders 
are received by CBA providers on an on-going basis. Information 
collection will be on-going throughout the duration of the cooperative 
agreements.
    In addition, CBA providers will be required to submit pre-planned 
CBA training events on a CBA Training Events Report (form D). The CBA 
Training Events Report is used to disseminate planned capacity building 
assistance activities delivered by CBA providers, the CDC and other 
organizations providing training and technical assistance. The calendar 
is also used as a marketing tool to let CBOs, health departments and 
stakeholders know what types of technical assistance and training 
activities are available. There are no costs to respondents other than 
their participation in the collection of information. The estimated 
annualized burden is 1,462 hours.
