11 Describe the purpose of the system.

None.
The Chronic Disease Management Information System (CDMIS)
is a post award grants management web-based tool that
allows CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) program staff and award
recipients to monitor, track, and enhance performance and
transparency on strategies, activities, and outcomes across
multiple years.
The data is used to document and report on activities of the
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) recipients.

The Chronic Disease Management Information System collects
and stores information so that CDC staff and awardees can
conduct data analysis of strategies, activities, and outcomes
across multiple years after award closeout.
The data collected are used to document and report recipient
efforts through interim and annual reports by allowing states,
territories and large metropolitan areas to uniformly define,
collect, and report chronic disease data.
CDMIS is organized into different modules which are described
below:
1. Program Information - Funded partners enter program
contact information. CDC staff contacts are also stored in this
module
2. Resources -Funded partners enter names, position title,
email, telephone number, job descriptions, personnel status

(active or inactive) and position status (filled or vacant) for
collect, maintain (store), or share. (Subsequent
12
questions will identify if this information is PII and ask human resources associated with the program
about the specific data elements.)
3. Planning - Funded partners document standard and nonstandard data sources used to plan, evaluate, and implement
actions. This module allows storage and retrieval of relevant
documents over time such as state plans, evaluation plans,
burden reports, and logic models.
4. Action Plan - Funded partners build Action Plans (aka work
plans) using a standardized template. The template is
composed of Project Period Objectives, Annual Objectives,
Progress, Activities and Products. Information in the Action
Plan section is used to populate annual performance reports
5. Reports - Funded partners generate annual performance
reports using a step-by-step process.
6. Search Tab -The Search section allows CDC staff to search
across organizations for specific information of interest. Staff
only have access to the funded partners that they manage.
Award recipients only have access to their own data.

The Chronic Disease Management Information System is used
by NCCDPHP and funding recipients (awardees) to document
and report recipient efforts through interim and annual
reports. The recipients support the development,
implementation and evaluation of chronic disease programs.
All recipients are required to report data to NCCDPHP using
CDMIS.
Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

The data collected are used to document and report recipient
efforts through interim and annual reports by allowing states,
territories and large metropolitan areas to uniformly define,
collect, and report chronic disease data.
The data collected, processed, and stored by CDMIS include
contact and supporting information of recipients including
names, position title, email, telephone number, job
descriptions, personnel status (active or inactive) and position
status (filled or vacant) for human resources associated with
the program. CDMIS also contains plans and reports for
program implementation and evaluation.

32 system users (administrators, developers,
contractors, etc.) may access PII.
The CDC Project Officers work with the awardees in each state
to determine who should have access to CDMIS within the
state. The recipients only have access to information within
their state.
Role-based access controls are in place to ensure the concept
of “least privilege” is implemented. Each individual assigned to
work on the project is assigned to a group associated with their
role. Access rights are then derived from that role. Users are
given access to the least amount of information necessary to
complete their duties.
Describe the methods in place to allow those with
33 access to PII to only access the minimum amount of
information necessary to perform their job.

Identify training and awareness provided to
personnel (system owners, managers, operators,
contractors and/or program managers) using the

system to make them aware of their responsibilities
for protecting the information being collected and
maintained.

35 beyond general security and privacy awareness
training).
Do contracts include Federal Acquisition Regulation
36 and other appropriate clauses ensuring adherence to
privacy provisions and practices?

Describe the process and guidelines in place with
37 regard to the retention and destruction of PII. Cite
specific records retention schedules.

Roles include:
CDC user (program staff, project officer)
CDC program administrator (access across a module, manage
users)
CDC system administrator (provides technical support to CDC
and recipient users)
Recipient user (limited access based on state and program
activities)

PII is not retained after the award activities have ended. The PII
is destroyed when user accounts are removed. All PII will be
destroyed when CDMIS is no longer operational.
Federal records are retained, stored, and disposed of in
accordance with CDC’s Scientific and Research Project Records
Control Schedule (N1-442-09-01). PII is not retained. CDC will
follow the National Archives Disposal of Records (44 USC
Chapter33) guidance once retention has ended.

Administrative Controls:
Access to PII is role-based and limited to authorized staff only.
Audits are conducted annually of PII to ensure appropriate
access. A security assessment of the system is conducted
annually. Administrative controls include a security plan,
contingency plan, file back-up, least privilege access, and
training.
Describe, briefly but with specificity, how the PII will
38 be secured in the system using administrative,
technical, and physical controls.

Technical Controls:
All data is encrypted in transit. Access controls (user id and
password) are in place to restrict access to only authorized
users. Continuous monitoring is in place to detect security
threats.
Physical Controls:
CDC’s servers are located in a secure facility with multiple
layers of restricted access. Physical controls include ID Badges,
Key Cards, and Closed Circuit TV (CCTV). The system is in a data
center protected by guards, gates, and surveillance at the entry
point to the facility. Access to the data center is limited to
authorized personnel.
