Integrated Planning Committee
The work of the Integrated Planning Committee is to support the development of a comprehensive, integrated plan that looks at HIV care and prevention services across the State in partnership with the other grantees on a 3-year cycle per guidance from CDC & HRSA.
Review data gathered from other committees as well as the gap analysis completed by Data & Research Committee. The Committee’s task is to begin developing a plan that responds to findings from data and the gap analysis, making recommendations, and setting goals, objectives, and action steps to address the identified needs.
Priority Setting Committee
The Priority Setting Committee is responsible for understanding and accessing where services are now and where they need to be. The Committee considers:
-
what is needed, what is missing, what is lacking, what is cutting edge, what is innovative
-
how we can fill in the gaps, and how to do this with a Statewide perspective
-
draw from quantitative and qualitative data from and other sources to understand what is needed.
Community Engagement Committee
The Community Engagement Committee works to identify prevention, care, treatment needs, and interventions for high-risk populations; develop outreach strategies to inform and engage communities while meeting them where they are through access and equity and at community events; cultivate/develop future leaders in the community; and build community space, presence & trust.
Data & Research Committee
The Data and Research Committee takes the lead in requesting data from the State and then analyzing and understanding the data received. The Committee is a resource for all other committees and their data needs.
It plays a role in creating, maintaining, and updating the resource directory. Undertakes an annual process of determining what the needs assessment questions are.
