The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program offers training and technical assistance (T/TA) to support recipients in key areas. T/TA takes many forms. The most common are tools, webinars, and manuals found in the TargetHIV Library as well as TA provider landing pages listed here. Some T/TA providers provide phone and email-based assistance and consultation and others manage regional and national learning collaboratives.
HRSA HAB Project Officers are the first point-of-contact for Ryan White recipients in managing their federal funds and accessing training and technical assistance.
This directory of active T/TA projects is organized by primary topic area. (Completed initiatives can be found in the archive.)
