CDC-RFA-OE20-20010101SUPP20: Enhancing Public Health Laboratory Capabilities and Increasing Capacity

Supplemental Project Proposal Appendix D: Informatics

Appendix E: Informatics Focus Area Name: Informatics

Focus Area Contact Information Jasmine Chaitram, zoa6@cdc.gov Jason Hall, zfr9@cdc.gov

1. General Information

Project Name Informatics – Discovery Teams

Project Activity Contact Information Jason Hall

Approximate Amount of Supplemental Funding Available $425,000

2. Project Description

I. Purpose

The Public Health Data Modernization Initiative marks the first comprehensive, cross-cutting effort to improve data at CDC by modernizing tools, technology, strategy, and our own attitudes and culture around data – all at the same time. This initiative will support public health surveillance, research and, ultimately, decision making.

This strategic imperative will transform how we collect, use, and share data through modern IT capabilities to save lives and improve health. The plan can address key questions, including:

• How do we improve timeliness and quality of data?

• How can we better coordinate data activities and systems?

• How can we reduce burden on data partners?

• How can we integrate emerging technologies more effectively?

The plan can also help CDC and our partners chart a course to a future where data drives action in real time—efficiently, flexibly, rapidly, and with impact.

This project can mobilize teams to help CDC and/or STLT programs identify needs and develop plans or roadmaps towards modernizing systems.

II. Justification mailto:zoa6@cdc.gov mailto:zfr9@cdc.gov

Some CDC Programs lack skillsets to adequately assess the technical approaches and strategies needed to modernize data systems to support their programs.

III. Identification of need

APHL can bring multi-disciplinary teams with to support these types of assessment quickly and for a short duration as needed.

IV. New or expanded project

This will be a new activity.

3. Outcomes

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following proximal outcomes:

PO-8. Improved understanding of data-related challenges and data-informatics solutions among laboratory professionals and stakeholders

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following intermediate outcomes:

IO-5. Improved data exchange and interoperability among public health laboratories and their partners

Activities in this project should contribute to the following long-term outcome:

Improved effectiveness of public health laboratories, individually and as components of a national system

4. Strategies and Activities

List specific strategies, activities, and process measures

Strategy/Activity Process Measure S4. Laboratory Quality, Safety, and Informatics for Public Health Testing Services, Surveillance and Response

TBD

S4.1. Develop and implement informatics-related solutions and standards to improve data exchange and interoperability

5. Budget

CELS/DLS project officers will provide budget spreadsheet for APHL to complete for requested funds by object class category

By submitting this project plan, I certify that my CIO currently does not maintain a comparable NOFO for similar activities and the proposed use of funds is consistent with the appropriation.

Please note: APHL is expected to collaborate with their CDC point of contact and/or technical monitor for this project to develop realistic measurable process objectives. In response to this proposal, APHL should provide a detailed work plan with: Outcomes, outcome measures, strategies/activities, and process measures.
