Proposed Project

    Cardiovascular Health Branch Management Information System--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The Cardiovascular Health Branch Management Information System will 
collect the following in electronic format: (a) Data needed to measure 
progress by State Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Programs toward, 
or achievement of, program performance measures, and (b) information on 
State Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Programs currently being 
reported in hard copy.
    In 1998, the U.S. Congress provided funding for the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to initiate a national, state-
based heart disease and stroke prevention program. CDC's strategic plan 
is to implement a comprehensive national heart disease and stroke 
prevention program that supports state-based programs in all states and 
territories. In 2003 under Program Announcement 02045, CDC's

[[Page 78418]]

Cardiovascular Health Branch selected and funded 32 states and the 
District of Columbia to address heart disease and stroke. Awardees were 
selected through a competitive peer review process, and the awards are 
managed as CDC cooperative agreements. Awards are made for five years 
and may be renewed through a continuation application. This program is 
authorized under sections 301(a) and 317b(k)(2) of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act, [42 U.S.C. sections 241(a) and 247b(k)(2)], as 
amended.
    All funded programs are required to submit continuation 
applications and semi-annual progress reports consistent with federal 
requirements that all agencies, in response to the Government 
Performance and Results Act of 1993, prepare performance plans and 
collect program-specific performance measures. There will be two 
respondents per site.
    An internet-based management information system (MIS) will allow 
CDC to monitor, and report on state Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention 
Programs more efficiently. Data reported to CDC through the MIS will be 
used by CDC to identify training and technical assistance needs, 
monitor compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate 
progress made in achieving program-specific goals, and obtain 
information needed to respond to Congressional and other inquiries 
regarding program activities and effectiveness. There are no costs to 
respondents except their time to respond. The total annual burden for 
this data collection is 396 hours.
