Re: 2013 NBCCEDP Grantee Assessment of Program Implementation

The 2013 NBCCEDP Grantee Assessment of Program Implementation is here!

CDC is conducting an assessment to better understand how grantees are implementing the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). This assessment will provide CDC baseline data about activities conducted during DP12-1205 program year 1 by NBCCEDP grantees and identify important technical assistance and training needs. The results of this assessment are critical to improving the program. CDC will not use these data to make funding decisions. A report summarizing results will be generated for each grantee.

The on-line assessment is estimated to take approximately 28 minutes to complete. The web-link closes on [actual date TBD pending OMB approval].

Here are some details about the assessment you need to know:

1. The person responsible for day-to-day management of the program should complete this assessment.

2. The assessment covers DP12-1205 Program Year 1 (PY1) ( 07/01/12 - 06/30/13)

3. We’ve tried to streamline questions to reduce your burden, and the assessment should take no longer than 28 minutes to complete.

4. Your participation in this data collection is voluntary and your responses will be kept in a secure manner.

5. Please review the instructions before starting the assessment.
