Proposed Project

    Evaluating HIV Prevention Programs in Community-Based Organizations 
(CBOs)--New--The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention 
(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposes to 
evaluate HIV prevention programs in community-based organizations 
(CBOs) through a quarterly and annual reporting system. This evaluation 
is necessary to understand the impact of CDC's expenditures and efforts 
to support CBOs, and for modifying and improving the prevention efforts 
of CBOs. This data collection will provide CDC with standardized data 
which will allow CDC to (a) determine the extent to which HIV 
prevention efforts have contributed to a reduction in HIV transmission 
nationally; (b) improve programs to better meet the goal of reducing 
HIV transmission; (c) help focus technical assistance and support; and 
(d) be accountable to stakeholders by informing them of progress made 
in HIV prevention nationwide. CDC currently funds 181 CBOs.
    Each CBO will be asked to report on the following types of 
interventions that it has implemented (a) individual level 
interventions; (b) group level interventions; (c) street and community 
outreach; (d) prevention case management; (e) partner counseling and 
referral services; (f) health communications/public information; (g) 
community level interventions; and (h) HIV antibody counseling and 
testing.
    The total annual cost to respondents is estimated at $30,770 based 
on an average salary of $35,000 for program managers.
