CFDA Number: 93.145
Period of Supplemental Funding: July
1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.
Justification: With the
implementation of the Affordable Care
Act, more people, including those living
with HIV/AIDS, are able to access care
and are being seen by providers in a
variety of settings, including community
health care centers. This has resulted in
an increased need for primary care
providers to receive training in HIV
care. A program expansion supplement
will allow the NWAETC to develop a
comprehensive portfolio of web-based,
HIV primary care distance learning and
assessment resources and tools that will
reach greater numbers of health care
providers across the nation. This free,
state-of-the-art HIV care and treatment
curriculum will be evidence-based and
aligned with up-to-date federal
guidelines. Further, the curriculum
would be accessed in an online
environment that is effective at
assessing HIV training needs, providing
relevant, tailored training to meet those
needs, and will monitor and evaluate
individual and group progress
throughout the curriculum.
The University of Washington
NWAETC, now in the fifth year of a
5-year project ending on June 30, 2015,
is uniquely positioned to rapidly
develop and deliver the national HIV
care and treatment distance curriculum,
having the necessary infrastructure for
implementation already developed and
in place, and having previously
demonstrated the capacity to develop
similar products. A distance HIV
curriculum is consistent with the goals
of the AETC program—to provide HIV
treatment education, clinical
consultation, capacity building, and
technical assistance to health care
professionals and agencies. An on-line
HIV care and treatment training
curriculum will help to better meet the
HIV training needs of the current health
care workforce that is working to
achieve the goals of the National HIV/
AIDS Strategy (NHAS).
