Centers for Disease Control - NCHHSTP

Description

The overarching goal of National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP) programs is to decrease the incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB among at-risk populations, including adolescents. Timely dissemination of the newest information derived from recent scientific studies on these diseases is imperative, but often it is challenging to reach this goal. Nongovernmental and governmental organizations often wish to hold conferences to provide up-to-date information regarding the aforementioned diseases, but are prohibited by budgetary constraints. Limited resources for disseminating the latest health information and fostering community collaboration and partnerships impedes efforts to effectively reach and impact at-risk populations and persons serving them, thereby increasing the burden of disease and concomitant sequelae in the community at large. In an effort to ease this burden, the purpose of this program is to provide partial support for specific non-Federal conferences focusing on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, TB, and/or adolescent and school health. By the end of the project period, conference attendees are expected to have increased access to the latest evidence-based information related to the focus areas, increased knowledge, and improved professional partnerships.
