Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted
the following information collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. CDC previously published a
``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on February 10, 2017 to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to
the previous notice. The purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comments.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are
encouraged. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.
Proposed Project
Annual Progress Report (APR) for Injury Control Research Centers
(ICRC)--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs) form a national network
of ten comprehensive academic research centers that focus on three core
functions: Research, training, and outreach. ICRCs are on the
scientific front line conducting cutting-edge, multidisciplinary
research on the causes, outcomes, and prevention of injuries and
violence.
ICRC research focuses on issues of local and national importance
including motor vehicle injuries; interpersonal violence and suicide;
opioid overdoses; older adult falls; and traumatic brain injuries.
ICRCs work with states and communities to ensure research is put into
action to prevent injuries and violence. They provide technical
assistance to disseminate and translate research findings which leads
to increased awareness and influences action. ICRCs play a critical
role training and developing the current and next generation of
researchers and public health professionals. This helps ensure there is
an adequate supply of qualified practitioners and researchers to
advance prevention research, address new problems, and reach new
populations across the nation.
The CDC seeks OMB approval for three years to collect Annual
Progress Report (APR) information from 10 grantees funded under Grants
for Injury Control Research Centers (ICRC). ICRC awardees will report
activity information to CDC annually using three fillable electronic
templates. The first Word-based template is the principal tool for the
Indicators Data Collection (IDC), which is based on a set of program
activity indicators and key ICRC evaluation questions. The second Word-
based template collects information about non-CDC-funded studies, and
the third template, which is Excel-based, collects information about
ICRC personnel and publications. Information will be reported
electronically to the NCIPC for program monitoring, and hard copies
will be submitted to CDC's Office of Financial Resources (OFR).
Together, the tools describe grantees' annual goals, objectives,
progress, and performance towards overall cooperative agreement aims.
The tools also describe how grantees implement and use evidence-based
injury prevention and control strategies.
Information to be collected will provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring, will allow CDC to analyze and synthesize
information from grantees, help ensure consistency in documenting
progress and technical assistance, enhance accountability of the use of
federal funds, and provide timely reports as frequently requested by
the Department of Health and Human Services, the White House, and
Congress.
Submission of the Annual Progress Report is required for
cooperative agreement grantees. The total estimated annualized burden
hours are 500. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
