Proposed Project

    A Questionnaire to Assess HIV-prevention Program Activities for 
Adolescent and School Health Programs--New--National Center for HIV, 
STD and TB (NCHSTP). The proposed project is an annual web-based 
questionnaire to report on and to assess HIV-prevention program 
activities among local and state and territorial education agencies 
funded by the Division of Adolescent and School Health, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention. The purpose of this request is to 
obtain OMB clearance to conduct

[[Page 80433]]

an annual questionnaire focusing on HIV prevention program activities: 
assistance and training on school HIV policies, assistance and training 
on HIV curricula and instruction, training on student standards and 
assessment for HIV prevention, collaboration with external partners, 
targeting priority populations, planning and improving projects and 
information about additional activities. There is currently no 
standardized annual reporting process for HIV prevention activities 
among local and state education agencies funded by the Division of 
Adolescent and School Health. Data gathered from this questionnaire 
will (1) provide standardized information about how HIV prevention 
funds are used by local and state education agencies, (2) assess the 
extent to which programmatic adjustments are indicated, (3) determine 
the collective impact of funded programs, and (4) provide 
accountability of information for use of public funds. The estimated 
cost to respondents is $12,819.45 assuming an hourly wage of $26.40 and 
$22.96 for local and state education agency staff respectively.
