NMAETC - National Minority AIDS Education and Training Center

NMAETC Overview & Mission

The National Minority AIDS Education and Training Center (NMAETC) is a national collaborative network of clinicians and other experts providing capacity building assistance and related support to improve HIV/AIDS primary care services available in minority communities disproportionately impacted by the disease. Created in 1999 under the Minority AIDS Initiative, NMAETC is headquartered at Howard University’s College of Medicine in Washington, D.C., and includes five regional sites located at minority-serving institutions across the U.S.

Mission

NMAETC provides leadership in capacity building, education, support, and advocacy to assist providers to deliver excellent care to minorities diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Our mission is achieved through evidence-based, provider driven programs, training and support that promote preventive behavior and maximize treatment outcomes. NMAETC’s core service areas are clinical delivery, cultural competency and infrastructure management.

Vision

The vision of NMAETC is to be a center of excellence that serves as the premier source of training, information, and technical assistance to providers who serve minorities diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. We accomplish this through strong, collaborative partnerships with providers and communities to ensure the development, dissemination, and implementation of best-practice models for minority individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

To support this mission and achieve this vision, NMAETC is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (grant #H4AHA00066).
