Proposed Project

    Prevention Research Centers Program National Evaluation Reporting 
System--Revision--Division of Population Health, National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Program was established by 
Congress through the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Amendments 
of 1984. PRCs conduct outcomes-oriented health promotion and disease 
prevention research on a broad range of topics using a multi-
disciplinary and community-based approach. CDC manages the PRC Program 
and currently provides funding to PRC grantees that are housed within 
schools of public health, medicine or osteopathy. Awards are made for 
five years and may be renewed through a competitive application 
process.
    CDC is currently approved to collect performance information from 
PRCs through a web-based survey and telephone interview (OMB 
0920-0650, exp. 6/30/2013). The web-based survey is designed 
to collect information on the PRCs' collaborations with health 
departments; formal training programs and other training activities; 
and other funded prevention research projects conducted separately from 
their core research. A structured telephone interview with a key PRC 
informant obtains information on systems and environmental changes in 
which PRCs are involved. The content of the information collection is 
guided by a set of performance indicators developed (2002) and later 
revised (2009) in collaboration with the PRCs.
    CDC requests OMB approval to continue conducting the annual web-
based survey and the annual interview. Changes to be implemented 
include (1) changing the platform of the web-based survey, (2) reducing 
the number of questions asked on each instrument, and (3) revising some 
questions for clarity or to reflect the current needs and priorities of 
the program. The proposed changes will result in a net decrease in 
burden to respondents.
    OMB approval is requested for a three-year period with a start date 
of June 1, 2013. There are no costs to respondents other than their 
time. The total estimated burden hours are 204.
