Proposed changes to the Million Hearts Hypertension control Challenge 0920-0976

This is a revision. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. Proposed changes are outlined below.



  1. Program Change: An increase in the required hypertension control rate from 70% to 80% and change in the scoring rubric for scoring applications (Attachment 7; Supporting Statement A).


  2. A non-substantive change to a question in the Application form and two questions were moved to a different section of the Application form. One of those two questions was revised for clarity (Attachment 3a).


3. Revision: Changes to the Burden Table (Supporting Statement A)

In the initial submission to OMB, the burden table was based on expectations without knowledge of actual numbers of applications. Based on experience during the 2017 and 2018 Challenges, we are revising the number of estimated Applications downward from 500 to 200. This results in a reduction of 300 responses and a reduction of 150 burden hours. Additionally, during the 2017 and 2018 Challenges, it became apparent that the burden for finalists undergoing verification and validation process, the burden was underestimated and the burden for Champions interview was overestimated. This resulted in an increase in burden from 1 hour to 2 hours per finalist and an increase in total burden hours from 40 to 80 hours for finalists. The burden for Champions is reduced by 5 respondents and the total burden hours per Champion is reduced by 1 hour, resulting in a total reduction in burden of 45 hours for Champions. In total, there will be 305 fewer responses and 155 fewer burden hours.

4. Adjustment: The estimated annual cost for respondents has been updated to current hourly wage estimates and changes in burden. (Supporting Statement A)

5. Content on the eligibility, data validation process, and judging added to the Eligibility and rules for Participation revised for clarity (Attachment 7).

Information collected through the application process will be used to rate and rank approximately 40 finalists per year for further consideration. Nominees and finalists will receive a preliminary score by CDC staff or contractors based on a structured scoring rubric that considers hypertension control rate (at least 90% of score), sustainable systems (up to 5% of score) and patient population that is high risk (up to 5% of scores). A CDC panel of judges will complete a preliminary review of the nomination and assign a preliminary score to each submitted nomination form.”

Information collected through the application process will be used to rate and rank approximately 40 finalists per year for data validation. A panel of judges will review the applications and the results of data validation and background checks to determine the Champions.”
