Evaluation and Program Improvement Capacity Building for STD Programs

With funding from CDC, NNPHI is working with CDC’s Division of STD Prevention (DTSTDP), CDC’s Program Development and Quality Improvement Branch (PDQIB), and the Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center (RMPHTC) to implement The Evaluation and Program Improvement Capacity Project. This project supports health departments’ STD programs in their efforts to make strategic decisions, plan and using scientific methods to inform and assess program improvement efforts, make use of findings and seeking leadership support. STD managers from 25 health departments engaged in individualized coaching, virtual peer learning, and a prior in-person learning exchange held earlier this year in Atlanta.

This project is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award (NOFO OT18-1802, titled Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation’s Health) totaling $300,000 with 100 percent funded by CDC/HHS.
