Optimizing Virtual Care Grant Program Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to electronically collect data for Optimizing Virtual Care (OVC) grant recipient activities and performance measures over an approximately 14-month period. In February 2022, HRSA awarded nearly $55 million to 29 HRSA-funded health centers through the OVC grant program to increase health care access and quality for underserved populations through virtual care such as telehealth, remote patient monitoring, digital patient tools, and health information technology platforms. The goal of the OVC grant program is to continue to support innovation that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when health centers quickly expanded their use of virtual care to maintain access to essential primary care services for underserved communities. HRSA-funded health centers serve special and vulnerable populations facing barriers to virtual care access, such as low digital literacy, low connectivity capabilities, or limited technology access. The 29 grant recipients will serve as a model for how to increase equitable virtual care, generating and refining strategies that can be adapted and scaled across the Health Center Program. The data on grant recipient activities and performance will help HRSA demonstrate, adapt, assess, and disseminate promising practices, strategies, and novel models of virtual care across the nation’s health centers. The grant recipient activities related to implementation of novel models of virtual care, including aggregate data on patients served and the services they received, will be captured via monthly progress reports. A set of health center performance measures will be captured via a biannual measures report and will provide evidence-informed insight into health equity and virtual care. The Health Center Program and supplemental awards to health centers are authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 254b). Notably, HRSA is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 254b(d) to make supplemental awards for health centers to “implement evidence-based models for increasing access to high-quality primary care services, which may include models related to… expanding the use of telehealth and technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models .” As per 45 CFR §75.301, HRSA is obligated to collect performance information on its grants “in a way that will help the HHS awarding agency and other non-Federal entities to improve program outcomes, share lessons learned, and spread the adoption of promising practices.” The original version of the information collection instruments submitted to OMB inadvertently included the April 2022 versions of the data collection instruments developed prior to the 60-day public comment period (Biannual 12-Items Measures Progress Report version 3.1 and OVC Grant Recipient MPR template version 3.5b, dated April 5, 2022). Thus, HRSA is now submitting the revised instruments (OVC Biannual Measures Report Template version 6.0 and OVC Grant Recipient MPR version 4.0, dated December 8, 2022), which include minor revisions made in response to grant recipient and OVC project officer feedback.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program Annual Application. National Competitive Grants and Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The Water Resources Research Act of 1984, as amended (42 USC 10301 et seq.), authorizes a research institute water resources or center in each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marina Islands, and American Samoa. There are currently 54 such institutes, one in each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The institute in Guam is a regional institute serving Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Each of the 54 institutes submits an annual application for an allotment grant and provides an annual report on its activities under the grant. The State Water Resources Research Institute Program issues an annual call for applications from the institutes to support plans to promote research, training, information dissemination, and other activities meeting the needs of the States and Nation. The program also encourages regional cooperation among institutes in research into areas of water management, development, and conservation that have a regional or national character. The U.S. Geological Survey has been designated as the administrator of the provisions of the Act.

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards November Launch

Key Information

Abstract

To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAs) and the Administrations commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to Grantmakers who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the initial development of community-led environmental justice projects.Emergency Justfication:With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers to solicit applications for their first round of subgrants to be launched in October 2024. EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the time between the Grantmakers receipt of their funding awards and the launch of their subaward programs (3 months) does not allow sufficient time to obtain PRA clearance using the standard ICR process (which typically takes 6-9 months). Collection of the information requested under this emergency clearance (i.e., applications) is essential for the Grantmakers to have a mechanism for selecting and distributing subaward grants to fund environmental justice projects in underserved communities, thus fulfilling the central objective of the program. The six-month emergency clearance period will cover the first round of subaward applications that will be solicited by six Grantmakers in October 2024. Subsequent rounds of applications for these six Grantmakers will be authorized via a Standard ICR package for the Grantmaking Program that will be submitted for review via the standard ICR approval process.

[NCEZID] US Tuberculosis Follow-up Worksheet for Newly Admitted Persons with Overseas Tuberculosis Classifications

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this data collection is to follow-up with and assess newly-arrived persons in the United States who received overseas tuberculosis classifications in order to assist in the national effort to prevent new transmission of TB. The information collected by The EDN Tuberculosis Follow-Up Worksheet for Newly-Arrived Persons with Overseas Tuberculosis Classifications, also commonly known as the TB Follow-Up Worksheet, will provide outcomes for improving national TB prevention programs. The Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) staff, along with other federal partners will use this information to assess overseas panel physician performance, overseas prevention activities, and TB control program performance in the United States. Specifically, to improve overseas panel physician performance and TB prevention activities, CDC needs information on the U.S. domestic chest x-rays, chest x-ray comparison sputum smear and culture, and diagnosis results along with U.S. domestic reviews of overseas treatment. To monitor and assess U.S. domestic TB program performance, CDC needs to collect data on all elements of TB U.S. domestic follow-up evaluations, including chest x-rays, diagnosis, and U.S. treatment outcomes. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to make minor modifications that do not alter the overall scope of the currently approved collection. Additionally, there is no change in burden associated to respondents.
