Proposed Project
Evaluating the Implementation and Outcomes of Policy and
Environmental Cancer Control Interventions--New--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) is
administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion,
Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. Through the NCCCP, 65
awardees receive support through cooperative agreements (CDC-RFA-DP12-
1205). The current cooperative agreements maintain core comprehensive
cancer control (CCC) activities and build on policy, system, and
environmental (PSE) change strategies that many NCCCP programs have
begun to incorporate into their program plans and initiatives. Awardees
provide routine progress reports to CDC which describe their overall
objectives and activities (Management Information System for
Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs, OMB No. 0920-0841, exp. 3/31/
2016).
In 2010, additional pilot funding was provided under CDC-RFA-D10-
1017 to 13 of the 65 NCCCP awardees (``1017 awardees''). The additional
funds are intended to increase awardees' focus on PSE change strategies
relating to cancer control, and to strengthen collaboration with both
traditional and nontraditional partners. With additional resources and
structure, CDC hopes that 1017 awardees will achieve greater health
impact through increased skills and capacity and enhanced interactions
with partners. CDC plans to conduct a new information collection to
assess whether the 1017 pilot is meeting its goals and to compare the
experiences of NCCCP programs funded at both levels of support. The
study design includes a Web-based survey of all 65 CCC funded programs,
administered at two points in time; a longitudinal case study of 6 of
the 1017 programs involving interviews with key awardee staff and NCCCP
partners; focus groups with staff who provide technical assistance
related to the 1017 program; and a one-time survey of coalition members
and strategic partners who are collaborating with 1017 awardees.
Information collection activities are designed to address specific
evaluation questions,such as: Did 1017 cooperative agreement funding,
training and technical assistance enhance the ability of grantees to
inform PSE change as part of comprehensive cancer control?; Did the
1017 cooperative agreement facilitate a shift towards primary
prevention?; How did 1017 programs build infrastructure required to
develop an environmental scan, policy agenda, evaluation plan, and
media plans?; What methods were used by 1017 programs to develop the
policy agenda and media plan?; What key outcomes were achieved by 1017
programs?; How did the PSE Workgroups facilitate implementation and
achievement of PSE change?; and What lessons have been learned that
could inform the expansion of the 1017 program to the other NCCCP-
funded programs? Findings will be used to improve program guidance and
direct future investments in the NCCCP.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to the respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 161.
