Proposed Project
Performance Monitoring and Budget Tracking Tool for the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP)-New-National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides funding and technical assistance to states, Territories, the District of Columbia, and other entities to improve public health and reduce the economic toll of chronic diseases. In June 2013, the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) initiated a new set of cooperative agreements under Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DP13-1305, "State Public Health Actions to Prevent and Control Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity and Associated Risk Factors and Promote School Health." The new program is designed to support an integrated approach to preventing and managing chronic conditions that share common risk factors. All 50 states and the District of Columbia were initially funded for up to five years. Two types of awards were issued. Nineteen awardees received funding at the Basic level and 32 awardees received additional funding for Enhanced activities. All DP13-1305 awardees are required to prepare performance work plans, collect program-specific performance measures, and submit annual progress reports that serve as continuation applications. In addition, the new FOA requires awardees to organize program activities and strategies according to four essential domains: (1) Epidemiology and surveillance; (2) Environmental approaches that promote health and support and reinforce healthful behaviors; (3) Health system interventions to improve the effective delivery and use of clinical and other preventive services; and (4) Community-clinical linkages to support cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes prevention and control efforts and the management of chronic diseases. Awardees funded at the Basic level will focus on Domain 1. Awardees funded at the Enhanced level will add activities in Domains 2, 3, and 4.
The four domains framework promotes simultaneous work to address multiple chronic diseases and risk factors. Domain 1 encompasses both epidemiologic and surveillance methods to support gathering, analyzing, and disseminating population health data and evaluation methods to inform, prioritize, and monitor the delivery of the interventions in Domains 2-4. Domain 2 includes interventions that address the underlying causes of chronic disease. Domains 3 and 4 include interventions that strengthen systems and resources for early detection and better management of chronic diseases. Collectively, the work to be conducted through this framework can result in a healthier society that delivers healthier students to our schools and early care and education centers, healthier workers to our businesses and employers, and a healthier population to the health care system.
CDC plans to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for an Internet-based performance monitoring and budget tracking tool for awardees under FOA DP13-1305. CDC will collect performance monitoring information to assure compliance with cooperative agreement requirements, evaluate progress made in achieving program-specific performance measures, and obtain information needed to respond to inquiries about program activities and effectiveness from Congress and other sources. Budget information will be collected and tracked to assure proper disbursement of, and accounting for, funds awarded.
Additionally, the tool will identify training and technical assistance needs, and support program evaluation. CDC is considering adding evaluation and success story components to the tool. A final decision will be made once work plans and budgets are finalized.
Awardees will enter information into the electronic tool and submit reports to CDC once per year. Separate reports will be required for activities conducted under Basic awards and Enhanced awards. CDC anticipates that burden to respondents will be greatest during the initial population (data entry) of the work plan and budget. Thereafter, the estimated burden for ongoing data entry, system maintenance, and annual progress reporting will be reduced.
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
