Technical Assistance Center

The National Native HIV Network Technical Assistance Center (NNHN-TAC) collaborates with a national network of providers to deliver comprehensive capacity-building assistance to public health organizations across the United States and U.S. territories. Through information dissemination, tailored technical assistance, and interactive learning communities, NNHN-TAC supports organizations serving American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander communities.

Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NNHN-TAC offers capacity-building services and resources to CDC-funded health departments, community-based organizations, and Tribal programs. These services are designed to support organizations in effectively planning, integrating, implementing, and sustaining comprehensive HIV prevention programs and services.

NNHN-TAC provides tailored support based on the unique needs of each organization and its staff. Areas of focus include:

  • Community outreach in rural, frontier, and reservation settings
  • Data-to-care and data-to-prevention strategies
  • HIV testing in nonclinical settings
  • Implementation of evidence-based interventions
  • Addressing social determinants of health
  • Social network strategy development
  • Strategic communication related to HIV prevention, treatment, and care
  • Strategic partnership development and engagement
  • Syndemic and whole-person health approaches

Customized technical assistance is delivered through the CDC Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Tracking System (CTS) request process. CDC-funded organizations are encouraged to consult with their project officer and submit a request via the CTS portal: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/CTS2024.

Organizations that are not currently funded by the CDC may access services by partnering with a CDC-funded health department within their jurisdiction, which can submit a CTS request on their behalf. A list of health department CTS users is available at: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/CTS2024/Pages/Main/HDExternalInfo.
