[60Day-24-24FZ; Docket No. CDC-2024-0048]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the
general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed information
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on
a proposed information collection project titled Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control
Research Centers (ICRC). ICRCs focus on research, training, and outreach for issues of local and
national importance, including the prevention of adverse childhood experiences, child abuse and
neglect, drowning, drug overdose, intimate partner violence, older adult falls, sexual violence,
suicide, and traumatic brain injuries, as well as the promotion of transportation safety.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER
DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2024-0048 by either
of the following methods:
•

Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting
comments.

•

Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road, NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.

Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket Number.
CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments to www.regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking portal
(www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the proposed
project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, contact Jeffrey M.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection
of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing
collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection
before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we
are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1.

Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
2.

Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed

collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used;
3.

Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

4.

Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,

including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submissions of responses; and
5.

Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
Annual Progress Reports for Injury Control Research Centers (ICRC) – New – National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1987, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) began funding Injury Control Research Centers
(ICRCs) at academic research institutions throughout the United States. ICRCs focus on three
core functions - research, training, and outreach - for issues of local and national importance,
including the prevention of adverse childhood experiences; child abuse and neglect; drowning;
drug overdose; intimate partner violence; older adult falls; sexual violence; suicide; and
traumatic brain injuries, and the promotion of transportation safety. ICRCs foster
multidisciplinary strategies for addressing these complex problems and disseminating research
findings. In addition to conducting cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research, ICRCs train and
develop the current and next generation of researchers and public health professionals to help
ensure that there is an adequate supply of qualified practitioners and researchers for advancing
prevention research, addressing new problems, and reaching new populations across the nation.
Finally, ICRCs work with States and communities to translate research findings into action.
ICRCs provide partner organizations with technical assistance on programs, public health
infrastructure, and the integration of resources at the local, State, and national levels. Areas of
emphasis within each ICRC are determined by the expertise of the faculty and the public health
needs and opportunities identified through the ICRC’s outreach activities. This collaborative

approach is a vital component in the success of efforts to make an impact on population-level
reduction in injury-related harm.
ICRCs form a national network of expertise and innovation in injury prevention and
control. ICRC grants are typically funded in five-year funding cycles. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) requests OMB approval to electronically collect annual progress
report (APR) information and Success Stories from the 11 currently funded ICRCs. Grantees will
report progress and activity information to CDC on an annual schedule using a web-based
CAMP. The information that will be collected will provide crucial data for program performance
monitoring and will improve CDC’s ability to respond in a timely manner to requests for
information about the program from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the
White House, Congress, and other sources. The information that will be collected will also
strengthen CDC’s ability to monitor grantee progress towards stated grant research, training, and
outreach objectives, provide data-driven technical assistance, and disseminate Success Stories
about what’s working to reduce unintentional and intentional injuries. This data collection will
improve and innovate through evaluation, research, and quality improvement; investigate,
diagnose, and address health hazards and root causes; communicate effectively to inform and
educate; strengthen, support, and mobilize communities and partnerships; and create, champion,
and implement policies, plans. CDC ICRC grantees perform all of these activities, and the
systematic collection of data, annually, is the best way for CDC to understand this work. This
APR information collection will enable grantees to submit accurate, reliable, and timely activity
and performance data to the CDC.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 183 annual burden hours. There is no cost
to participants other than their time.
