Please prepare and attach a short summary paragraph (<1 page);

a.

Be sure to include the purpose of the project, specific details about the project and the role of the CDC staff member
(s) in the project. In explaining one's role as a consultant be particularly careful to identify involvement in things
like: study design decisions, oversight of protocol development, participation in review of data collection procedures,
and particpation in data analysis and/or manuscript preparation, as well as whether there will be access to
identifiable or personal data.

b.

Explain your project status selection (research--non-exempt, exempt, no CDC investigator or not involving human
subjects; public health practice). If you selected research not involving human subjects be sure to indicate if the data
includes any personal information (e.g., name, SSN), linkable study identification numbers or codes, or geographical
information.
This request is to extend the approval for the CDMIS Oral Health Module from 12/1/2018 through 8/31/2020. The extension is
needed for OMB approval to cover the remaining time of use for data collection in the CDMIS oral health module. The original
684 research determination for the Oral Health Management Information System was #23837. The CDMIS Oral Health
Module supports 21 state health departments funded under DP13-1307, "State Oral Disease Prevention Program." The
research determination for these grantees were # 23423 (20 states) and # 23581 (added North Dakota). This reporting system
is a module in the Chronic Disease Management Information System (CDMIS). The MIS assists grantees in organizing their
oral health program information and generating annual progress reports for cooperative agreement DP13-1307 in an efficient
and effective manner. This updated MIS will allow CDC to collect performance measures and data elements specifically
required by cooperative agreement DP 13-1307.

Please list the primary project site and all collaborating site(s).

If project involves research that is funded extramurally, list amount of award that should be restricted pending IRB
approval and describe which project components will be affected, if known:
