Goals/Purpose

The goal of this project is to assess the training and technical assistance needs of DHP directly funded community-based organizations and health departments. The purpose is to collect training and technical assistance needs in a convenient and easily accessed manner to assist funded agencies to meet their program goals throughout the duration of their funding.

Objective

The objective of the Training and Technical Assistance Needs Assessments is to understand then meet the specific trainings and technical assistance needs directly funded community-based organizations and health departments have as they implement the HIV prevention, care and treatment, and surveillance programs they are funded to provide to their affected communities. This objective is critical for the United States to meet the goals set forth in the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative in the US (EHE). This initiative seeks to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030. To meet this goal, directly funded community-based organizations and health departments must stand up a host of programs and interventions that may require staff training and technical assistance to implement, and modify during the course of their funding. The HPCDB Needs Assessment will allow the branch to conveniently and readily assess these needs, then act upon them in a timely manner.

Public Access justification	The Needs Assessment data will not be useful to the general public, yet particular data may be useful to directly funded capacity building assistance provider agencies (funded currently under PS19-1904) in a restricted way. Any data shared will be at the agency level, thus will not involve personally identifiable or protected information .
How Access Will Be Provided for Data	Access will not be provided to raw data; directly funded capacity building assistance provider agencies may be granted access to agency-level and aggregate data in order for these agencies to meet the reported training and technical assistance needs submitted by the community based organizations and health departments.
Plans for archival and long-term preservation of the data	All needs assessment data will be stored in the CDC sponsored capacity building assistance tracking system (CTS) and any resulting reports will be stored on the CDC OneDrive, behind the CDC firewall.
