Proposed Project

    Comprehensive Cancer Control: Implementation Case Study--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background

    While much has been learned about the development of Comprehensive 
Cancer Control (CCC) plans, little is known about CCC grantee 
activities, organizational capacity, or essential elements of 
implementing CCC plans. CDC, through a contractor will evaluate the 
necessary components of the CCC Program. The evaluation consists of: 
(1) The design of a plan to evaluate the CCC Program; (2) an evaluation 
of grantee activities; (3) a nationwide assessment of capacity to plan, 
implement and evaluate CCC programs; and (4) a study of selected 
grantees' experiences implementing CCC plans. This project will focus 
on the fourth component of the evaluation.
    Implementation case studies provide the opportunity to follow the 
relationships among needs identified in the planning process, goals and 
objectives established in the plan (priorities for action), and 
implemented activities. The goals of the proposed data collection are 
to document the process and activities CCC programs undertake to 
implement a CCC plan, and to document measures CCC programs use to 
assess how well a CCC plan is implemented.
    The data will be collected via in-person interviews with key 
personnel in the implementation of CCC plans. Key personnel will 
include: Program directors, program staff in health departments and 
partner organizations, partner organization decision-makers, program 
evaluators, and representatives from non-partner organizations. 
Interviews will take place during one 3-to 4-day site visit to 10 
sites. The program directors will also complete a packet of background 
information in preparation for the site visits. The only cost to 
respondents is their time. The total annual burden for this data 
collection is 145 hours.
