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 comprehensive evaluation of the cooperative agreement DP17-1705 to scale the National DPP to priority
populations with prediabetes including: Medicare beneficiaries, men, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics,
American Indians, Alaska Natives, Pacific Islanders, and people with visual or physical disabilities.
The program evaluation efforts of this task order will consist of:
1)testing and enhancing the CDC-developed data collection tools for the national evaluation of DP17-1705 FOA;
2) developing a new information collection package and obtaining approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for all final data collection tools specified in the DP17-1705 National Evaluation Plan developed by CDC;
3) developing and maintaining an integrated database to systematically collect data at the grantee, site, and participant level;
4) providing technical assistance for grantees and affiliate sites on data collection, evaluation plan development and
implementation, program implementation and delivery, and dissemination of emerging/promising practices and guidance;
5) collecting, validating, and linking data from different sources identified in the national evaluation protocol for CDC to conduct
analyses; developing consumer-friendly emerging/promising practice documents, materials, resources, and tools around
scaling the National DPP to priority populations;and
6) identifying key topic areas for case studies and focus groups, designing and implementing evaluation plans, collecting and
analyzing data, and synthesizing and disseminating results.
