Proposed Project
Monitoring and Reporting System for DELTA FOCUS Awardees (OMB
Control No. 0920-0968, Expires May 31, 2016)--Revision--National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
[[Page 8074]]
Background and Brief Description
This is a revision request for three years for the currently
approved OMB Control Number 0920-0968, with an expiration date of May
31, 2016. This request is to extend the time and slightly reduce
burden.
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. Given these factors, the Family Violence
Prevention and Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10401) provides an important
opportunity for the advancement of public health and reduction of IPV.
Support and guidance for programs addressing IPV have been provided
through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance
administered by CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC). NCIPC will continue collecting information needed to monitor
cooperative agreement programs funded under Domestic Violence
Prevention Enhancement and Leadership through Alliances, Focusing on
Outcomes for Communities United with States (DELTA FOCUS).
Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring and provide CDC with the capacity to respond in
a timely manner to requests for information about the program from the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House,
Congress, and other sources. Awardees will report progress and activity
information to CDC on an annual schedule using the Program Management
Information System (PMIS) consisting of fillable electronic templates
and submitted via Grant Solutions. CDC will use the information
collected to monitor each awardee's progress and to identify
facilitators and challenges to program implementation and achievement
of outcomes. Monitoring allows CDC to determine whether an awardee is
meeting performance goals and to make adjustments in the type and level
of technical assistance provided to them, as needed, to support
attainment of their objectives. CDC's monitoring and evaluation
activities also allow CDC to provide oversight of the use of federal
funds, and to identify and disseminate information about successful
prevention and control strategies implemented by awardees.
Participation in the information collection is required as a
condition of funding. The estimated annual burden hours are 60. There
are no costs to respondents other than their time.
