Funding for HIV/AIDS Care Providers in New England

The purpose of the AETC program is to improve healthcare and health outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS. This is accomplished through providing education, training, clinical consultation and other forms of decision support to HIV/AIDS clinical care providers currently serving this population and to clinical providers in minority and other highly impacted and high risk communities, where enhanced access to HIV treatment resources is needed. Through education, training, information support, clinical consultation and technical assistance, the AETC program develops and sustains HIV clinical care expertise, increasing the number of direct care clinical providers who are competent and willing to clinically manage HIV infected patients. Training focus is on diagnosis and treatment of the disease, and its related health conditions.

HRSA intends to fund up to 2 awards to ensure coverage of the six-state New England region (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT).
