Proposed Project

    Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention Program 
Information System--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and 
Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Background and Brief Description

    Eight Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention 
(ACEs) and two Urban Partnerships--Academic Centers of Excellence on 
Youth Violence Prevention (U-PACEs) are currently funded through CDC to 
foster and promote a stable, visible, long term strategy to address the 
complex problem of youth violence. The centers work with community 
members and many educational, justice and social work partners to 
develop action plans, partnerships, and priorities to prevent youth 
violence in a local community.
    In addition, one ACE Coordinating Center is funded to initiate, 
foster, and support coordinated efforts, including the development and 
dissemination of activities and products in youth violence research and 
practice, among the ACEs, UPACEs, and CDC. It also aims to facilitate 
increased collaboration among organizations working to prevent youth 
violence to support the sustainability of youth violence prevention 
programs.
    The Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention 
Program Information System will collect, in electronic format: (a) Data 
needed to measure progress toward, or achievement of, performance 
indicators and other outcomes and (b) information on Academic Centers 
of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention that is currently being 
collected in various electronic and paper documents. The clerical staff 
or Program Managers (n=11) will complete the majority of the system. 
The principal investigators (n=11) will review the information in the 
system and add details related to study design and outcomes of 
projects, as necessary.
    An Internet-based information system will allow CDC to monitor, and 
report on, ACE activities more efficiently. Data reported to CDC 
through the ACE information system will be used by CDC to identify 
training and technical assistance needs, monitor compliance with 
cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate the progress made in 
achieving center-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 enter data 
into the Information System.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 161.
