Please prepare and attach a short summary paragraph (<1 page);
if this is new:
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 project is a public health practice because it is designed to collect data about CDC funded central cancer registries’ operations
to evaluate and monitor the success of these programs at meeting the requirements of the NPCR Standards. The PEI project is
intended to help answer questions about how well the registries are doing and provide some data about what areas they could
improve. The project does not attempt to answer any research questions and the knowledge obtained through this project is not
generalizable. The project also does not collect any personal information and the previous human subject determination found this
project to be public health practice.
The annual collection of performance indicator data from state and territorial programs funded through the National Program of
Cancer Registries (NPCR) began 17 years ago and was changed to biennial collection in 2009. The data collected is limited to
registry operations information and does not include individual record level data. The data include information on registry staffing
levels, the status of cancer registry legislation in the state, the type and scope of advanced surveillance activities, case sharing
agreements with neighboring states, the number and type of reporting facilities, computer infrastructure, etc. The information
collection allows CDC to provide routine feedback to grantees based on their data submissions, to tailor technical assistance as
needed, and to support program planning, surveillance and secondary data analysis activities. The evaluation data will be used by
CDC to help monitor progress in meeting NPCR standards and assisting CDC project officers with providing technical assistance to
the states.
This Human Subject determination is a component of an OMB application. The survey instrument has been revised with updated
NPCR Program Standards, questions that are no longer relevant have been deleted and new requirements around Meaningful Use
have been added.
This project will be administered through a contract. CDC Staff will manage and monitor the contract, review and make
suggestions for revising the survey, have monthly calls with the contractor, review and monitor the budget and work plan.
