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.
