CSTE HIV Subcommittee Peer-to-Peer Technical Assistance Consultation Program

One of CSTE’s objectives is to increase epidemiology and surveillance capacity in state, local, tribal and territorial jurisdictions. The CSTE HIV subcommittee has a peer-to-peer technical assistance consultation program to support new and less established HIV surveillance coordinators and staff. These consultations may include an orientation to the surveillance system, guidance and program requirements, and day-to-day systems management.

If you would like to request a peer-to-peer technical assistance consultation, please contact Monica Lachey for additional information. After you have identified the appropriate HIVsurveillance peer with whom to get your training, please complete and submit your proposal to .

If your consultation is approved and funding is available, support may include the following: airfare, baggage fees, hotel room + tax, meal per diem, and ground transportation. Hotel rates and per diem will be reimbursed at the federal rate (available at the GSA website). Please consult for details about CSTE’s travel policies and guidelines.

The attached proposal contains information needed for review and approval of your request:

  • Name(s) of those participating in the consultation (including the traveler and the host names and roles)
  • Location of the consultation
  • Dates of travel and of meeting
  • Tentative brief agenda and learning objectives for the consultation
  • Estimated cost of travel (airfare between nearest airports, govt. rate lodging, etc.)

Please contact Monica Lacheywith any questions about CSTE’s technical assistance program. Peer-to-peer funds are limited, so not all requests may be able to be honored.
