The CA PTC is a joint project of the University of California, San Francisco and the California State Division of STD Prevention and Control. The CA PTC provides training in behavioral interventions and partner management. Training is specifically targeted for individuals who have direct, face to face contact with persons at increased risk of STDs and HIV, utilizing a client-centered approach for reaching populations in both clinic and community settings. The Collaborative HIV Prevention Research in Minority Communities is designed to assist investigators already conducting HIV prevention research with ethnic minority communities to improve their programs of research and obtain additional funding for their work. Trainees work with a preceptor to design and implement studies on treatment of drug dependence, including nicotine dependence.
Trainees also select a specific area of focus for independent research.
