11 Describe the purpose of the system.

Not applicable
The purpose of this information collection is to evaluate the
CDC cooperative agreement program entitled CDC-RFAPS19-1904: Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) for High Impact
HIV Prevention Program Integration.
Specifically, this information collection will assess how well the
Division of HIV Prevention (DHP)’s CBA program meets the
capacity building needs of programs directly and indirectly
funded by CDC to provide HIV prevention services
The system will collect, maintain/store, and share (between
the government and contractors) training and technical
assistance (TA) recipients': (1) demographic details, (2) business
contact information, (3) post-training survey responses, and (4)
post-TA survey responses.

population areas of focus. The CDC TRAIN system will store the
information for use during future training registrations.
The demographic and identifiable data are needed to
complete registration, disseminate the Post-Training
Evaluation, and conduct follow-up with program managers.
The identifiable data from the Learning Group Registration is
entered, stored, and transmitted in a separate database from
all the other data collected.

There are two systems involved in the collection of training
and TA data. The first system is CDC TRAIN. CDC TRAIN is an
existing online learning management system that is primarily
used to deliver eLearning courses. CDC TRAIN also allows
individuals to register for in-person (face-to-face) trainings. This
project uses CDC TRAIN to collect demographic information for
training recipients. CDC TRAIN data access is granted to a small
number of designated DHP, Capacity Development Branch
(CDB) and Translation and Evaluation (TEB) staff, CBA providers,
and the TEB evaluation contractors.
Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

The second system used by this project is the CBA Tracking
System (CTS). CTS is an existing system customized for this
project. CTS offers survey capabilities beyond the options in
CDC TRAIN. Specifically, CTS collects information beyond
demographics such as the post-training and post-TA surveys.
CTS is a password protected online application with varying
levels of data access granted to DHP CDB and TEB staff, CDCfunded CBA providers, and the TEB evaluation contractors.
CDC TRAIN only administers the Learning Group Registration
Form. CTS administers the Post-Training Evaluation, Post-TA
Evaluation, and the Training and Technical Assistance Followup Survey.
Yes

18 For what primary purpose is the PII used?

19

Describe the secondary uses for which the PII will be
used (e.g. testing, training or research)

500-4,999
The business email address will allow the system to send
individuals an email invitation to complete the web-based
version of the post-training survey or post-TA survey. The
business phone number is used to contact individuals if they
do not respond to the email invitation. Name and other
business contact information is used to verify that the person
contacted by phone is the correct individual.
Business contact information is also used during data cleaning
to remove duplicate records before conducting analysis
related to program evaluation.

Yes
No
Personnel will maintain all information in accordance with
N1-442-09-001 Bucket 1.
Administrative controls: Passwords are only assigned to
personnel with a role that requires their use of the PII. The
amount of PII available to personnel is uses a "need-to-know"
basis. Personnel receive training regarding protecting hard
copies and unauthorized electronic access. Access to the data
collected through web-based questionnaires is passwordprotected. The granting of passwords and levels of access are
determined by the branch. The site administrator grants and
revokes access on a rolling basis.
Technical controls: CDC will maintain information in secure
electronic files that will only be accessible to authorized
members of the team. Electronic files will be stored on secure
network servers, and access will be restricted to approved
team members identified by user ID and password. PII is
password protected.
Physical controls: Servers are protected by guards, locks, and ID
badges.
