CDC announces the availability of funds for organizations applying for Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PS06-606, STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers

This program announcement will provide financial assistance to organizations to develop STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers (PTCs). The PTCs will provide innovative, high-quality, comprehensive STD/HIV training across the United States.

• Part I PTCs will provide STD medical and laboratory services training;
• Part II PTCs will provide training on behavioral interventions; and
• Part III PTCs will provide training on STD/HIV partner elicitation and referral, and on STD counseling and case management.

Parts II and III PTCs will also provide training to strengthen health department STD/HIV prevention programs.

Each PTC must be a partnership between:

• an organization that can bring state-of-the-art research findings to the development of STD/HIV prevention education and training courses and materials for health care professionals, prevention specialists, and STD/HIV prevention programs, such as an academic institution and;
• an organization that can deliver the resulting STD/HIV prevention education and training courses and materials to health professionals, prevention specialists, and STD/HIV prevention programs, such as a state or local public health department.

Additionally each PTC must be staffed by health professionals with demonstrated expertise in STD/HIV prevention training.
