    Proposed Project: ``Evaluate the Advancing Systems Improvements to 
Support Targets for Healthy People 2010 (ASIST2010) Program''--OMB No. 
0990-NEW--Office on Women's Health.
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health is collecting data from 13 
funded grantees and clients participating in ASIST2010, a three-year, 
cooperative agreement program. ASIST2010 uses a public health systems 
approach to improve performance on two or more of seven Healthy People 
2010 (HP 2010) objectives that target women and/or men in six focus 
areas--cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke, access to quality 
health services, educational and community-based programs, nutrition 
and overweight, and physical activity and fitness. The goals of the 
ASIST2010 program are to: (1) Provide additional support to existing 
public health systems/collaborative partnerships to enable them to add 
a gender focus to HP 2010 objectives that track the health status of 
women and/or men, to help improve gender outcome in the targeted 
population and/or geographic area; (2) improve surveillance/information 
systems that allow tracking of program progress on HP 2010 objectives 
at the grantee level; and (3) develop and implement a plan to sustain 
the program after OWH funding ends. The sites participating in the 
ASIST2010 program represent four academic medical centers, three 
community-based organizations, two hospitals, two state health 
departments, one county health department, and one foundation.
