In spring 2003, CDC published
Program Announcement #04003 (FY
2003–2009) for the Prevention Research
Centers Program. The Program
Announcement introduced a set of
performance indicators developed
collaboratively with the Prevention
Research Centers (PRCs) and other
stakeholders and are consistent with
federal requirements that all agencies, in
response to the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993,
prepare performance plans and collect
program-specific performance measures.
Currently, CDC provides funding to 33
PRCs selected through competitive peer
review process and managed as CDC
cooperative agreements. Awards are
made for five (5) years and may be
renewed through a competitive process.
PRCs are housed in a school of public
health, medicine, or osteopathy and
conduct health promotion and disease
prevention research using a communitybased participatory approach.
In accordance with the current OMB
approval for the Prevention Research
Centers (PRC) Information System,
(OMB 0920–0650, expiration
November 30, 2007), this requested 3
year extension will continue the data
collection as approved. The Information
System (IS) is a web-based, password
protected technical reporting system
that allows the accurate, uniform, and
complete collection of PRC information
using the Internet. The IS allows CDC to
monitor and report on PRC activities
efficiently and effectively. Data reported
to CDC through the PRC IS are used to
identify training and technical
assistance needs, monitor compliance
with cooperative agreement
requirements, evaluate the progress
made in achieving center-specific goals
and objectives, and obtain information
needed to describe the impact and
effectiveness of the overall program as
needed to respond to Congressional and
other inquiries regarding the PRC
Program. The annual report and record
keeping burden is essentially the same
as the currently approved Information
Collection.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.

Proposed Project
Formative Research to inform the
development of new recommendations
for Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV), Counseling, Testing, and Referral
in non-health care settings—NewNational Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Coordinating Center for

Infectious Diseases (CCID), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project involves formative
research to elicit consumer opinions on
HIV counseling, testing, and referral
(CTR) in non-health care settings. The
study entails conducting focus groups
with persons who are either HIV
positive or at risk for HIV because of
their drug injection or sexual behavior.
The purpose of the focus groups is to
explore: (1) Facilitators and barriers to
using CTR services in non-health care
settings; (2) ideal service components to
decrease barriers to early diagnosis,
decrease risk behaviors, link clients
with follow-up care, and ensure client
rights; (3) perceived risks and benefits of
CTR; and (4) preferences for providing
informed consent.
CDC will use study findings to inform
the development of new
recommendations for HIV CTR in nonhealth care settings. We expect a total of
450 participants to be screened for
eligibility. Of the 450 participants who
are screened, we expect that 180 people
will participate in a focus group. There
are no costs to the respondents other
than their time.
