Proposed Project: Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency
(CARE) Act: CARE Act Data Report (CADR) Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)--
Revision
The CARE Act Data Report (CADR) form, created in 1999 by the HIV/
AIDS Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA),
is designed to collect information from grantees, as well as their
subcontracted service providers, funded under Titles I, II, III and IV
of the Ryan White (CARE) Act of 1990, as amended by the Ryan White CARE
Act Amendments of 1996 and 2000 (codified under Title XXVI of
[[Page 44957]]
the Public Health Services Act). All Titles of the CARE Act specify
HRSA's responsibilities in the administration of grant funds, the
allocation of funds, the evaluation of programs for the population
served, and the improvement of the quantity and quality of care.
Accurate records of the providers receiving CARE Act funding, the
services provided, and the clients served continue to be critical to
the implementation of the legislation and thus are necessary for HRSA
to fulfill its responsibilities.
CARE Act grantees are required to report aggregate data to HRSA
annually. The CADR form is used by grantees and their subcontracted
service providers to report data on six different areas: Service
provider information, client information, services provided/clients
served, demographic information, AIDS Pharmaceutical Assistance and
AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and the Health Insurance Program. The
primary purposes of the CADR are to: (1) Characterize the organizations
from which clients receive services; (2) provide information on the
number and characteristics of clients who receive CARE Act services;
and (3) enable HAB to describe the type and amount of services a client
receives. In addition to meeting the goal of accountability to
Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the general public, information
collected on the CADR is critical for HRSA, State and local grantees,
and individual providers to assess the status of existing HIV-related
service delivery systems.
The estimated response burden for grantees is estimated as:
