Block Grant Management Information System (BGMIS)
In 2008, CDC has successfully enhanced the PHHS Block Grant
client-server system Grant Application and Reporting System (GARS) to a
web-based Block Grant Management Information System (BGMIS). The GARS
system has been used to track states’ progress toward achieving their
objectives. The system has been serving the program’s needs for over 10
years and has been one of CDC’s first electronic grants management
system available through the client-server system. However, current CDC,
grantee, and national needs require a more flexible and accessible
system to meet stakeholder’s demands. As a result, CDC developed the
web-based BGMIS to replace GARS.
This new system provides improved accessibility and usability of grantee
information and integrates critical Block Grant information. BGMIS is
designed to capture and report on federal block grant work plans and other
information submitted by grantees each fiscal year. The system currently
contains data on the grantee’s reporting requirements, mainly the work plan.
In 2009, CDC will further modify the system to collect information on
performance measures, annual progress reports linked to performance
measures, success stories, and compliance review information. It will
continue to be enhanced to streamline data collection and support national
evaluation, monitoring, communication and dissemination efforts for the PHHS
Block Grant.
Similar to GARS, BGMIS will continue to link award amounts to national
Healthy People 2010 objectives; describe state health objectives that
are linked to the national health objectives; describe health problem,
target and disparate populations; describe program impact and outcome
objectives; allow states to relate public health's 10 Essential Services to
program activities; allow states to identify the PHHSBG's role in funding
health priorities; and enable states to complete an electronic annual report
that describes changes in health objectives and progress towards completing
program activities.
Statistical data
information from existing federal databases is available to states. These
databases are available on the CDC
Data and Statistics
page. Also see CDC Vital
Statistics Data related to Healthy People 2010.
