Description
This forecasted funding opportunity from the CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) aims to increase awareness, prevention, testing, and treatment of hepatitis B and C, especially among populations disproportionately affected by these infections. The program has two main components:
-
Part A: Community Education, Awareness, and Capacity Building
- Lead and expand coalitions serving disproportionately affected populations.
- Provide technical assistance and training for educational outreach.
- Build capacity for testing and linkage to care.
-
Part B: Professional Education and Training
- Offer free, comprehensive, web-based resources and trainings for healthcare professionals, including continuing education credits.
- Market and promote these training resources.
Applicants may apply for one or both components, but must submit separate applications for each. The ultimate goal is to improve informed health decisions, increase testing rates, and reduce hepatitis B and C morbidity and mortality.
