2. Current Program Priorities Addressing the ABCS Aspirin: Increase low dose aspirin therapy according to recognized guidelines Blood pressure: Prevent and control high blood pressure; lessen sodium intake Cholesterol: Prevent and control high cholesterol Smoking: Increase number of smokes told to quit and referred to quit line by health care workers; increase availability of no or low cost cessations Overarching principle Eliminate disparities in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, geography, or socio-economic status. FOA 704 states that all programs must address high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol in the health care and worksite settings. A priority for addressing high blood pressure is to promote and implement interventions to lower sodium intake (e.g., procurement policies, food labeling).

3. Program Efforts Majority of Effort Should Be on The ABCS With Emphasis on Controlling High Blood Pressure and Sodium Reduction. The majority of program efforts should go towards the ABCs As resources, need, opportunities permit may address ER, Quality of Acute Care…signs and symptoms direct support not currently a priority but okay to promote with partners. A more in depth discussion on the current program priorities will take place during the NHDSP program specific mtg on Tuesday at 8:30 am.The majority of program efforts should go towards the ABCs As resources, need, opportunities permit may address ER, Quality of Acute Care…signs and symptoms direct support not currently a priority but okay to promote with partners.

19. Relationships in Grants Administration – With Intermediary

20. Prior Approval When does this apply?

21. Prior Approvals for Program Changes Revision of project scope or objectives, regardless of whether budget is affected Time extension Change in project director, principal investigator, or fiscal officer Absence of PD or PI for more than 3 months

22. Prior Approvals for Program Changes Recipient wants to contract out an activity central to the project, or wants to make changes to that contract Change in recipient organization

23. Prior Approvals for Budget Changes Request for additional funds For a C.A. of over 100K, a request to re-budget more than 25% of the funds Redirection of funds that were intended for training Carryover of unobligated funds from one year to the next

24. Anticipating Unobligated Balances Observe when funds are released Consider impact of technical, political or other challenges Track expenditures in relation to performance Obtain regular fiscal reports

25. Deciding What to Do with Unobligated Balances Balances can be redirected before end of budget year (best option) Balances can be used to offset the next budget year award Deciding what to do is really the Divisions call; to ensure that you do not have a balance it is best to anticipate redirect early in the budget yearDeciding what to do is really the Divisions call; to ensure that you do not have a balance it is best to anticipate redirect early in the budget year

26. Prior approval for redirection of funds is required when… Over 25% of budget Change involves a contract Change involves key personnel Change in scope of work

32. Program evaluation is …. the systematic collection of information about the activities, characteristics, and outcomes of programs to make judgments about the program, improve program effectiveness and/or inform decisions about future programming. [Michael Q. Patton, 1997]

33. Goals of the Eval Team: Provide timely evaluation technical assistance to state health departments funded by CDC to accomplish the evaluation tasks they are required to undertake as a condition of their cooperative agreement. Promote and support the use of appropriate evaluation methods to improve program effectiveness. Conduct evaluation research studies and contribute to the science of evaluation.

34. Eval Team Evaluation Philosophy Evaluation results should be useful and used Focus on utilization for program improvement Value good science and rigorous evaluation as a form of science Assure reasonable expectations – evaluation should be useful, not a burden Share evaluation findings and resources It’s OK to start small -- build capacity and gain experience!

35. Why Evaluate? Determine the effectiveness of public health programs Improve programs Learn more about the program Identify lessons learned Provide recommendations Inform key decision makers, justify funding, justify increase in funding Guide program planning Test the program’s theory of change To get more partners, more buy-in To promote good programs across the nation
