Welcome!

We are pleased to announce the 4th Biennial Meeting of the “4TCs” – the Regional Training Centers (RTCs), AIDS Education Training Centers (AETCs), STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers (PTCs), and Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs).

The 4TC Meeting is part of an initiative to increase collaboration among federally funded training centers with overlapping or related missions.

Meeting Goal

The goal of the 2008 meeting is to increase collaboration regarding STD/HIV prevention and treatment and to maximize the use of Federal training resources.

Meeting Objectives

At the end of this meeting, participants will:

• Enhance and strengthen working relationships among the 4TCs.
• Increase collaborative efforts resulting in mutually beneficial outcomes.
• Incorporate the most current, evidence-based information related to STD/HIV, family planning/reproductive health, and substance abuse prevention and treatment into training activities.

This meeting will provide the opportunity to formalize collaborative efforts, identify additional training–related needs of the targeted populations and agencies serving them, and maintain state-of-the-art information related to the applicable content areas.

The sponsoring Federal agencies look forward to welcoming the 4TCs to discuss current research- and evidence-based training practices, and to share training experiences.  The meeting content will be comprised of presentations by leading experts, as well as sharing of cutting edge work from the field.

Who Should Attend

This meeting is intended for representatives from the 4TCs (RTCs, AETCs, PTCs, and ATTCs). Representatives from the supporting Federal agencies will also participate.
