Proposed Project

    Monitoring and Reporting System For DELTA FOCUS Awardees--New--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public 
health problem that affects millions of Americans and results in 
serious consequences for victims, families, and communities. IPV occurs 
between two people in a close relationship. The term ``intimate 
partner'' describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a 
current or former partner or spouse. IPV can impact health in many 
ways, including long-term health problems, emotional impacts, and links 
to negative health behaviors. IPV exists along a continuum from a 
single episode of violence to ongoing battering; many victims do not 
report IPV to police, friends, or family.
    The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention 
Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for 
Communities United with States) program is to promote the prevention of 
IPV through the implementation and evaluation of strategies that create 
a foundation for the development of practice-based evidence. By 
emphasizing primary prevention, this program will support comprehensive 
and coordinated approaches to IPV prevention. The strategies will 
address the structural determinants of health at the outer layers 
(societal and community) of the social ecological model (SEM) that 
coordinate and align with existing prevention strategies at the inner 
layers of the SEM. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2020'' 
focus area(s) of Injury and Violence Prevention and Social Determinants 
of Health.
    CDC seeks OMB approval to collect information electronically from 
awardees funded under the DELTA FOCUS cooperative agreement program. 
Information will be collected from DELTA FOCUS awardees through an 
electronic Performance Management Information System (PMIS). 
Information collected through the PMIS will be used to inform 
performance monitoring, program evaluation, responding to requests from 
the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Department of 
Health and Human Services, White House, Congress, and other sources. 
DELTA FOCUS awardees will use the information collection to manage and 
coordinate their activities and to improve their efforts to prevent 
IPV.
    Anticipated respondents are a maximum of 10 awardees for the DELTA 
FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through 
Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) All 
respondents will be state and territorial domestic violence coalitions. 
Estimated burden for the first-time population of the PMIS is fifteen 
hours. Semi-Annual Reporting is estimated at three hours per 
respondent.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. Total 
estimated annual burden hours are 210.
