UNCFSP's Program in Action

UNCFSP is funded to provide Capacity-Building Assistance for Preventing HIV Infections: Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

  • Continuing the Campus Health Advocates Mobilizing Prevention Strategies (CHAMPS) Network Consortium—composed of four representatives from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) who will serve as topical experts in coalition building, social marketing, peer/prevention education, and policy development. Participating schools include faculty members of Alabama A&M University, Howard University, Norfolk State University, and Spelman College.
     
  • Enlisting and training peer educators to promote evidenced-based practices for HIV/AIDS/STI risk reduction and prevention.
     
  • Creating a policy forum, led by a distinguished national HBCU health policy expert, to address the capacity of policy makers at HBCUs to improve the delivery, effectiveness, and sustainability of disease prevention and health promotion programs and services.
     
  • Disseminating models, strategies, and products created by CHAMPS to broader HBCUs and stakeholders.
     
  • Planning and developing a meeting with Consortium members at a CHAMPS National Conference to share lessons learned from implementing HIV/AIDS prevention programs at HBCUs, provide opportunities for networking with other HBCUs, and identify future collaboration efforts around HIV/AIDS/STI programmatic activities.
     
  • Developing an Internet site to provide access to program accomplishments and evaluation tools.
