SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F National AIDS Education and ( printed page 11327) Training Center Program Activities, OMB No. 0906-XXXX New

Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program's (RWHAP) Part F AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) Program, authorized under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, supports a network of national and regional centers that conduct focused, multi-disciplinary education and training programs for health care providers. The RWHAP AETC Program provides health care providers with: (1) tailored education and training on HIV prevention, care, and treatment; (2) clinical consultation; and (3) technical assistance.

The national AETC Program currently has five distinct activities: (1) National AIDS Education and Training Center Support Center (NASC), (2) National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC), (3) National HIV Curriculum (NHC) e-Learning Platform, (4) Integrating the National HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform into Health Care Professions (NHC-IP) Programs, and (5) HIV Clinical Training Tracks for Primary Care Residents (HTR).

NASC supports workforce training and resource coordination for the AETC Program to enhance HIV care delivery. NCCC provides expert guidance to clinicians on HIV testing, prevention (e.g., pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis), HIV treatment, hepatitis coinfections, perinatal HIV care, and substance use management through a national toll-free call center staffed by HIV experts. NHC offers comprehensive e-learning modules and tools for HIV prevention, diagnosis, and care, while providing free continuing education credits and resources for healthcare providers. NHC-IP focuses on incorporating HIV training into graduate-level medical, nursing, and pharmacy curricula to prepare future healthcare professionals. The HTR initiative develops HIV-focused tracks within primary care residency programs.

The RWHAP National AETC Program recipients have extensive reach to the HIV workforce. For example, from 2023-2024, the NASC website had over 165,694 viewers; NASC also had 457 registrants for the RWHAP Clinical Conference; NCCC supported 9,407 health care provider consultation requests; NHC engaged 15,773 individuals through online curriculum and learning modules; and NHC-IP supported 4,932 students and 122 faculty. Data is not yet available for the HTR program. The RWHAP National AETC Program recipients are now required to report data on training activities and trainees to HRSA once a year; they were not required to report data to HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau previously.

HRSA is requesting the approval of new AETC data collection forms to obtain more accurate data relating to National AETC activities, participants, and site information for all National recipients (NASC, NCCC, NHC, NHC-IP, and HTR). In addition, these forms will capture National AETC involvement in the HIV care and treatment workforce (1-year post-participation in an HTR), knowledge gained through participating in an AETC activity, and satisfaction with that activity. Given the distinct functions of each Center, it is essential to develop tailored forms specific to each Center's respective activities and its participants. Each center will be required to submit no more than five forms (see table 1 below). Different forms are necessary to accommodate the distinct activities and focus areas of each center. To ensure accurate and comprehensive data collection, these forms must be customized to meet the specific needs of each national center. A brief description of each form follows.

  • The National Individual Participant Record (National IND-PAR) is completed at least once every reporting period by participants actively engaging in NASC, NHC, and HTR AETC activities. This form includes NASC, NHC, and HTR AETC participant demographic, workplace, and client-served data for the respective recipient. The IND-PAR is broken up into sections (All and HTR) so that recipients can tailor the form to include the relevant questions (e.g., HTR would include questions from the All section as well as the HTR section).
  • The NCCC IND-PAR is completed at least once every reporting period by NCCC callers. This form is shorter because it is only administered orally to those who call into NCCC.
  • The Training Activity Record (National TAR) is completed at the end of each National AETC activity that takes place during the reporting period and is completed only by NASC, NHC, and NCCC national recipients. This form describes the activity in hours, modality, and topic(s).
  • There are multiple Participant Post-Activity Surveys (PPA) to be answered by recipients and activity-specific participants. Specifically, the NASC-RWHAP-PPA is for participants of the RWHAP Clinical Conference to complete post-attendance; the HTR-SF-PPA is for students and faculty of HTR programs to complete post-participation in the HTR program; the NCCC-PPA will be administered via email and is for NCCC callers post call; the NHC-PPA is for registered learners of NHC after completing a self-study lesson or question bank topic from NHC; and the NHC-SF-PPA is for students and faculty of NHC-IPs to complete at the end of any course in which the NHC has been integrated. These forms collect information from participants immediately upon completion of an activity hosted by a national AETC.
  • The NHC-IP Health Profession Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form (NHC-IP-HC) collects descriptive NHC Health Profession Program-level data for programs that integrate NHC into their curricula.
  • The HTR Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form (HTR-PC) collects descriptive HTR-level data for all HTR programs, such as number of residents trained by profession/discipline during the reporting period.
  • The HTR Long-Term form collects 1-year post-participation information only from HTR resident participants who engaged in an HTR program that trains primary care providers who are likely to practice in communities most impacted and at-risk for HIV.
  • There are some forms that will be used to collect web-analytic information related to the NASC website (i.e., NASC Web Analytics Form, or NASC-Web), NHC website (i.e., NHC Training Utilization and Web Analytics Form, or NASC-TWeb), and related to consultation call topics discussed (i.e., NCCC Tele-Consultation Utilization Form).

A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2025, vol. 90, No. 95; pp. 21319-22. There were five public comments. The public comments provided feedback on the tools, including requests to clarify reporting periods and to revise questions; response options; and categories within specific data collection tools. Comments also recommended moving certain questions between tools to improve flow and accuracy, and one AETC provided input on instructions for collecting a unique identifier. In response, HRSA revised some of the information collection forms, when appropriate (e.g., moving questions from one form to the other, removing forms for some recipients because they were not applicable based on current data workflow between recipients).

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the data collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to determine future program needs and program progress towards its objectives. These data allow HRSA to identify where gaps exist in training HIV professionals as well as to measure whether training activities are meeting the goals of the RWHAP statute.

Likely Respondents: RWHAP National AETC participants who attend activities hosted by NASC, NCCC, NHC, and HTR complete the Individual Participant Record at least once a reporting period (July 1-June 30). NASC and NCCC AETC recipients complete a Training Activity Record for each training activity they conduct during the reporting period. Participants who engage in recipient-specific activities will take the activity-specific Participant Post-Activity Survey (e.g., participants of the RWHAP Clinical Conference will take the NASC-RWHAP-PPA). Resident participants in the HTR program will complete the HTR Long-Term form 1-year post-participation in the program. Finally, the NHC-IP recipients will complete the NHC-IP Health Profession Program Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period, and HTR recipients will complete the HTR Program Characteristics/Outcomes form at least once per reporting period.

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.

Due to the unique nature of the national AETCs, an additional column titled “Type of Respondent” was added to the table to indicate which national center respondent would be using the form in question. A form may be listed more than once because the form itself has recipient/respondent-specific sections. Providing this additional information allows the burden estimates to be more accurate to the respondent.
