The RWHAP National AETC Program's purpose is to increase the number of health care providers who are effectively educated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage people with HIV. The national AETC Program comprises five distinct centers: (1) National AIDS Education and Training Center Support Center (NASC), (2) National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC), (3) National HIV Curriculum (NHC) e-Learning Platform, (4) Integrating the National HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform into Health Care Professions (NHC-IP) Programs, and (5) HIV Clinical Training Tracks for Primary Care Residents (HTR). NCCC provides expert guidance to clinicians on HIV testing, prevention ( <E T="03">e.g.,</E> pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis/), treatment, hepatitis coinfections, perinatal HIV care, and substance use management through a national toll-free call center staffed by HIV experts. NHC offers comprehensive e-learning modules and tools for HIV prevention, diagnosis, and care, while providing free continuing education credits and resources for healthcare providers. NHC-IP focuses on incorporating HIV training into medical, nursing, and pharmacy curricula to prepare future healthcare professionals. The HTR initiative develops HIV-focused tracks within primary care residency programs, and NASC supports workforce training and resource coordination for the AETC Program to enhance HIV care delivery. The RWHAP National AETC Program recipients have extensive reach to the HIV workforce. For example, from 2022-2023, NCCC supported 8,433 callers; NASC website had over 57,286 users; NASC had 355 registrants for the RWHAP Clinical Conference; NHC engaged 14,260 individuals through online curriculum and learning modules; and Integrating the NHC-IP supported 178 students and 12 faculty (“students and faculty” is also referred in this document as SF). The HTR program is new as of 2024, so data is not yet available. The RWHAP National AETC Program recipients are now required to report data on training activities and trainees to HRSA once a year; they were not required to report data to HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau previously. HRSA is requesting the approval of new AETC data collection forms to obtain more accurate data relating to National AETC activities, participants, and site information for all National recipients (NASC, NCCC, NHC, NHC-IP, and HTR). In addition, these forms will capture National AETC involvement in the HIV care and treatment workforce (1-year post-participation in an HTR), knowledge gained through participating in an AETC activity, and satisfaction with that activity. Given the distinct functions of each center, it is essential to develop tailored forms specific to each center's respective activities and its participants. Each center will be required to submit no more than five forms (see table 1 below). Different forms are necessary to accommodate the distinct activities and focus areas of each center. To ensure accurate and comprehensive data collection, these forms must be customized to meet the specific needs of each national center. A brief description of each form follows. • The National Individual Participant Record (National IND-PAR) is completed at least once every reporting period by participants actively engaging in NASC, NHC, and HTR AETC activities. This form includes NASC, NHC, and HRT AETC participant demographic, workplace, and client-served data for the respective recipient. The IND-PAR is broken up into sections (NASC/all, NHC, and HTR) so that recipients can tailor the form to include the relevant questions ( <E T="03">e.g.,</E> NHC would include questions from the “NASC/all” section as well as the NHC section). • The NCCC IND-PAR is completed at least once every reporting period by NCCC callers. This form is shorter as it is only administered orally to those who call into NCCC. • The Training Activity Record (National TAR) is completed at the end of each National AETC activity that takes place during the reporting period and is completed only by NASC, NHC, and NCCC national recipients. This form describes the activity in hours, modality, and topic(s). • There are many Participant Post-Activity Surveys (PPA) to be answered by recipients and activity-specific participants. Specifically, the NASC-RWHAP-PPA is for participants of the RWHAP Clinical Conference to complete post-attendance; the HTR-SF-PPA is for students and faculty of HTR programs to complete post-participation; the NCCC-PPA will be administered orally and is for NCCC callers; the NHC-PPA is for registered learners of NHC after completing a self-study lesson or question bank topic from NHC; and the NHC-SF-PPA is for students and faculty of NHC-IPs to complete at the end of any course in which the NHC has been integrated. These forms collect information from participants immediately upon completion of an activity hosted by a national AETC. • The NHC-IP Health Profession Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form (NHC-IP-HC) collects descriptive NHC Health Profession Program-level data for programs that integrate NHC into their curricula. • The HTR Program Characteristics/Outcomes Form (HTR-PC) collects descriptive HRT-level data for all HTR programs, such as number of residents trained by profession/discipline during the reporting period. • The HTR Long-Term form collects 1-year post-participation information only from HTR resident participants who engaged in an HTR program that trains primary care providers who are likely to practice in communities most impacted and at-risk for HIV. • There are some forms that will be used to collect web-analytic information related to the NASC website ( <E T="03">i.e.,</E> NASC Web Analytics Form), NHC website ( <E T="03">i.e.,</E> NHC Training Utilization and Web Analytics Form), and related to consultation call topics discussed ( <E T="03">i.e.,</E> NCCC Tele-Consultation Utilization Form). <GPOTABLE COLS="6" OPTS="L2,i1" CDEF="s100,xl10C,xl10C,xl10C,xl10C,xl10C"> <TTITLE>Table 1—National AETCs Summary of Forms by Recipient</TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Form/tool name</CHED> <CHED H="1">NASC</CHED> <CHED H="1">NCCC</CHED> <CHED H="1">NHC</CHED> <CHED H="1">NHC-IP</CHED> <CHED H="1">HTR</CHED> <ROW> <ENT I="01">National Individual Participant Record</ENT> <ENT I="01">NCCC Individual Participant Record</ENT> <ENT I="01">National Training Activity Record</ENT> <ENT I="01">NCCC Tele-consultation Utilization Form</ENT> <ENT I="01">NHC Training Utilization and Web Analytics</ENT> <ENT I="01">NHC Health Profession Program Characteristics and Outcomes</ENT> <ENT I="01">HTR Program Characteristics</ENT> <ENT I="01">NASC Web Participant Post-Activity Survey</ENT> <ENT I="01">NASC RWHAP Participant Post-Activity Survey</ENT> <ENT I="01">NCCC Participant Post-Activity Survey</ENT> <ENT I="01">NHC Participant Post-Activity Survey</ENT> <ENT I="01">NHC Student/Faculty Participant Post-Activity Survey</ENT> <ENT I="01">HTR Student/Faculty Participant Post-Activity Survey</ENT> <ENT I="03">Total forms per National AETC Recipient</ENT> <TNOTE>All forms for the national AETC package by national center recipient, some forms may be used by multiple recipients.</TNOTE> </GPOTABLE> <E T="03">Need and Proposed Use of the Information:</E> HRSA uses the data collected when conducting RWHAP AETC programmatic assessments to determine future program needs and program progress towards its objectives.
