Collecting and submitting cleaned and edited BRFSS data to CDC in accordance with specified monthly data submission protocols.

These activities may include monitoring and reporting activities that assist grants management staff (e.g., grants management officers and specialists, and project officers) in the identification, notification, and management of high-risk grantees.
