ADAP grantees are required to annually
submit the ADR that include information on patients served,
pharmaceuticals dispensed, pricing, sources of support to provide
HIV/AIDs medications, eligibility requirements, cost data, and
coordination with Medicaid. The report represents the best method
for HRSA to determine how grant funds are expended and to provide
answers to requests from Congress and other organizations.

In the previous OMB, the burden
estimate in the first year of ADR collection included the
development or adjustment of ADAPs' data collection systems to
include the collection of client level data elements for the first
time. In the following second and third year, the new burden
estimate was dramatically decreased from 52,404.66 hours to 4,161
hours with the assumption that ADAP data collection systems would
be in place. In this current inventory for the ADR the burden
estimate is for 4,698 burden hours, an increase of 537 hours from
the currently approved burden of 4,161hours per year. ADAPs may now
have a more accurate sense of how long the ADR does take to
complete. For example, ADAPs now report that the Grantee Report
takes an average of 6 hours, whereas previously ADAPs reported that
it took them 12 hours. This is due to familiarity of the data
elements and data collection systems in place. The Client-level
Report, which may require ADAPs to pull data from various data
systems has proven to take longer than previously estimated by
ADAPs Before, ADAPs estimated it take them 24 hours, but now ADAPs
are reporting that it takes them an average of 81 hours. This
increase may also largely reflect HAB's push to improve data
collection through submitting complete and accurate data. ADAPs can
now monitor their data using the Completeness Report and
Confirmation Report to check the quality of their data. The
increase in burden estimates is also likely attributable to asking
questions in this latest sample of ADAPs that cover more of the
scope of their data collection and reporting activities (e.g.
improving data quality and monitoring data collection year-round)
and with greater specificity than for estimating burden when
grantees were sampled previously. Despite the change from a
bi-annual to an annual submission, this did not decrease the amount
of effort it takes to prepare the ADR. Finally, all grantees who
responded with burden estimates expressed that the current data
elements changes in the Client Report described above would have
little to no affect in their current burden estimates.
