    Proposed Project

    Monitoring and Reporting for the Core State Violence and Injury Prevention Program Cooperative Agreement—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks new OMB approval to collect information from awardees funded under the Core State Violence and Injury Prevention Program cooperative agreement program (Core SVIPP). CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is committed to working with its partners to promote action that reduces injuries, violence, and disabilities, by providing leadership in identifying priorities, promoting prevention strategies, developing useful tools, and monitoring the effectiveness of Injury and Violence Prevention (IVP) program activities. Unintentional and violence-related injuries and their consequences are the leading causes of death for the first four decades of life, regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic status.

    More than 192,000 individuals in the United States die each year as a result of unintentional injuries and violence, and more than 31 million others suffer non-fatal injuries requiring emergency department visits each year. Support Start Printed Page 11569and guidance for programs addressing IVP have been provided through cooperative agreement funding and technical assistance administered by NCIPC. Awardees report progress and activity information to NCIPC on an annual schedule using three documents: Annual Progress Report, Evaluation and Performance Management Plan, and Injury Indicator Spreadsheet. Burden is expected to vary based on awardee funding type. For example all awardees who successfully compete will be funded for the BASE component. However, awardees will also have the opportunity to compete to be funded for one or both of the Enhanced components. It is expected that those funded for Enhanced components will have a greater burden, given the requirement to report on more domains of activity.

    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. Information to be collected will also strengthen CDC's ability to monitor awardee progress, provide data-driven technical assistance, and disseminate the most current surveillance data on unintentional and intentional injuries.

    The total estimated annualized burden for this collection is 3,120 hours. OMB approval is requested for three years. The only cost to respondents will be time spent on responding to the progress reports.
