Description: The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) maximizes public health and safety nationally and internationally through elimination, prevention, and control of disease, disability, and early death caused by HIV/AIDS, non-HIV retroviruses, viral hepatitis, other STDs, and TB. Its three overarching goals are to: (1) decrease incidence of infection with HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB; (2) decrease morbidity and mortality from HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB; and (3) decrease health disparities across groups affected by HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB. Timely dissemination of the newest information derived from recent scientific studies on these diseases and CDC recommendations is imperative, but often it is challenging to reach this goal. Conferences play an important role in addressing this gap. Nongovernmental and governmental organizations often wish to hold conferences to provide up-to-date information regarding the aforementioned diseases, but are prohibited by budgetary constraints. Limited resources for disseminating the latest health information and fostering community collaboration and partnerships impedes efforts to effectively reach and impact at-risk populations and persons serving them, thereby reducing the effectiveness of prevention and treatment efforts. In an effort to ease this burden, the purpose of this program is to provide partial support for specific non-Federal conferences focusing on topics that support CDC&#8217;s goals and recommendations related to HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, TB, and/or adolescent and school health.
