**Proposed Project**
Economic Analysis of the National Program of Cancer Registries—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
**Background and Brief Description**
The National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) is a comprehensive, federally sponsored public health program involving cancer registries in 45 States and the District of Columbia. The NPCR was established to collect data on the occurrence of cancer; the type, extent, and location of the cancer; and the type of initial treatment.
CDC proposes to conduct a systematic analysis of the economic costs incurred by the NPCR. Additional information will be collected on registry activities, activity-based costs, other sources of funding and in-kind contributions. Information will be submitted to CDC once per year for three years using a Web-based system. There is no overlap with information currently collected from NPCR awardees through the Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (OMB No. 0920-0706, exp. 12/31/2008).
The proposed information collection will allow CDC to assess the true cost of registry operations in relation to the benefits of those operations, identify factors that impact cost, perform cost-effectiveness analysis, and improve the efficiency of resource allocation within the NPCR.
There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,012.
