assistance, and stakeholder engagement to support recipients funded under the four AETC Program components below: • The Regional AETC Program: The eight regional AETC recipients (funded under HRSA-24-059) train health care organizations and team members to care for and treat people with or at risk of HIV through various educational, training and technical assistance activities. • National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC): The NCCC offers warmlines and a hotline to provide one-on-one consultation with providers regarding prevention, screening, and the management of HIV, perinatal HIV transmission, Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), substance use disorder, and Hepatitis C. • National HIV Curriculum (NHC): The NHC is an on-demand, online learning platform that provides training on the most current information about HIV care and increase provider competency in HIV prevention, screening, diagnosis, and ongoing treatment. • Integrating the NHC into Health Care Professions Programs: These projects focus on incorporating the NHC into health professions curricula at institutions including medical, nursing, allied health, pharmacy programs, as well as graduate education/residency programs across the country. Local partners are subrecipient organizations that help AETC recipients implement their HIV training and technical assistance activities. These local partners have a cadre of HIV and training experts readily available to help address regional HIV training and workforce development needs. Collectively, the AETC recipients along with their local partners provide a comprehensive approach to develop the HIV workforce and advance the mission of the program. The primary objectives of the NASC are to: o Objective 1 - Expand the national presence and utilization of the AETC Program services and resources; o Objective 2 – Develop and deliver activities that promote and support collaborative learning and incorporate evidenced-based strategies and best practices into AETC Program components; o Objective 3 - Create and maintain an infrastructure that builds and supports the ability of the AETC Program recipients and local partners to effectively implement program activities and sustain partnerships; o Objective 4 - Provide program support and coordination to enhance program performance; and o Objective 5 - Provide opportunities for continuous learning and knowledge sharing for HIV care practitioners. The NASC will achieve these objectives through the implementation of the following program strategies: • Strategic Communication and Stakeholder Engagement • Capacity Building • Program Coordination • Technical Assistance • Supporting HIV Care Practitioners • Outreach and Engagement with Minority-Serving Institutions and Health Professional Organizations, including those that focus on minority-serving providers For more details, see Program Requirements and Expectations.
