Part F - SPNS Models of Care
Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) carry out research and evaluation in order to identify models of HIV/AIDS care that can then be adopted by other HIV/AIDS programs. SPNS focuses on various issues under multi-year initiatives typically comprised of a small set of project sites and a national evaluation center to coordinate their investigations.
