Description
This Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) opportunity funds three entities to provide HIV training and technical assistance (T/TA) to Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations. The goal is to build organizational and workforce capacity for implementing sustainable, system-level improvements that enhance identification of undiagnosed individuals with HIV, increase linkage and re-engagement in HIV care, and improve viral suppression rates among American Indian and Alaska Native populations.
Funded entities will:
- Conduct needs assessments and review existing T/TA resources to identify gaps.
- Develop and implement individualized T/TA plans, including at least one learning collaborative.
- Tailor T/TA materials and delivery to the specific needs of tribal and urban Indian health organizations.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of T/TA activities and report outcomes.
This initiative is part of the Minority HIV/AIDS Fund and aligns with HRSA’s mission to advance health equity and reduce HIV-related disparities in tribal communities.
