“Over the course of FY2021, Cicatelli Associates Inc. (CAI) administered over 50 contracts, including 18 supported by federal funding, and 18 supported by state or local government. During this time, we conducted over 1,350 capacity building events, including trainings, learning collaboratives, webinars, and technical assistance (TA) to over 14,300 participants. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, almost all of our activities have been conducted virtually. Some notable achievements for CAI this year include: -As New York State's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Training Center, CAI is funded by the New York State Department of Health to design and deliver training to staff at 92 WIC local agencies and four vendor-management agencies across the State. Our programs use diverse, participant-centered training methods, such as synchronous and asynchronous virtual training, webinars, learning collaboratives, and online training modules to build competencies that will result in better health outcomes for WIC participants. Trainings serve all WIC staff, including case managers, nutritionists, support staff, breastfeeding specialists, managers, and the vendor-management team. Cornerstones of maternal-child health include reducing or preventing obesity, adequate access to nutrition information, increased physical activity for children, and supporting breastfeeding. Over the course of FY2021, the WIC Training Center delivered 113 virtual trainings and other capacity building activities to 1,715 participants across a broad range of topics, such as Breastfeeding and Income Assessment. -CAI administers the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Technical Assistance Provider- innovation network (TAP-in), a HRSA funded initiative which provides an array of support to health care providers, government leaders, community-based organizations, and others in 47 jurisdictions in the U.S. that are funded by the federal government's HIV/AIDS Bureau. We help jurisdictions strengthen their EHE plans, and we help them increase their capacity to implement the plans, in a way that is tailored to meet each jurisdiction's specific needs. A major effort for TAP-in during FY21 was a comprehensive review of the EHE proposals and work plans from the 47 EHE jurisdictions as a foundation to understanding jurisdictions' TA, recommending jurisdictions for high intensity TA, and informing webinar topics and opportunities for peer exchange. TAP-in conducted nine national webinars on a range of topics, from Rapid ART: An Essential Strategy to End the HIV Epidemic to Finding and Using the Best Data Sources to Support EHE Strategies with over 1,000 participants. Through the dissemination of the webinar recordings and resources on TargetHIV.org, more the 500 additional individuals viewed the webinars. Furthermore, within this one-year period, TAP-in also responded to 40 TA requests from 20 EHE jurisdictions to support activities that include: Rapid ART, Housing, Data Sharing, Community Engagement, and more. These requests resulted in nearly 200 TA interactions with the field. -CAI's Regional Training Center (RTC), funded by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, serves the Mid-Hudson and New York City areas, delivering over 50 training programs to approximately 2,000 participants in FY21. The RTC is focused on building the capacity of non-clinical providers to provide targeted community-based outreach for HIV testing; provide HIV testing in an array of community venues; and promote and enable uptake of HIV self-testing. In support of these activities, the RTC helps non-clinical providers train, sustain, and fully integrate the work of peers, client navigators, and retention specialists to re-connect with people with HIV who previously initiated services but have since fallen out of care. All RTC activities are geared towards reducing HIV disparities among populations with unmet need, such as trans people, sex workers,”

“-CAI's HOPE Buffalo project, funded by the Office of Population Affairs, is a community-led movement to reduce teen pregnancy and STI rates, and optimize teen health and wellbeing. CAI serves as the anchor organization, bringing expertise in authentic community engagement, data, training, and capacity building. HOPE Buffalo has developed a four-part plan to achieve optimal teen health: (1) Implement evidence-based curricula for pre-adolescents and adolescents, their parents/caregivers, and providers - leveraging existing school and community structures to ensure that young people receive age-appropriate, sequential, and consistent sexual health education from ages 10-19; (2) Support a referral and care linkage system to identify teens in need and link them to teen-affirming, community-based providers and resources; (3) Use social media and social marketing to promote community awareness and social norms associated with positive youth outcomes; and (4) Facilitate a youth and community-driven approach that empowers and promotes ownership of the plan by the Buffalo community. In FY21, HOPE Buffalo provided 120 capacity building sessions to 125 individuals from the Buffalo Public School system and other community organizations. -CAI's CDC funded Community Approaches to Reducing STIs (CARS) initiative in Buffalo, NY addressed the significant local STI/HIV disparities among African American and LGBTQ identified adolescents and young adults ages 18-24. Utilizing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) framework, CAI worked with a Community Advisory Board (CAB), comprised of 10 young adults reflective of the priority populations, to design and implement a primary STI prevention intervention, Pop N Play, informed by a previous CAB-led community needs assessment. Pop N Play is a 3-hour fun, safe event featuring activities that promote sexual wellness, offering onsite STI testing, and promoting language and content to reduce STI-related stigma. A secondary intervention, an STI screening marketing campaign in partnership with Buffalo Public Schools, was also designed by the CAB. In this final year of CARS Buffalo, CAI is also pleased to announce the receipt of new CARS funding to implement this initiative in Jackson, MS., making CAI the first two-time CARS awardee. -In FY21, CAI concluded the Colorado Contraceptive Access Change Project (CCACP), which bolstered safety net healthcare delivery system that ensures that all women of childbearing age in Colorado have access to all FDA-approved contraceptive methods, including the most effective methods, in a timely, person-centered, and culturally responsive manner. Funded by the Caring for Colorado Foundation and the Colorado Health Foundation, CAI was the Technical Assistance Partner for this initiative, providing TA to 11 FQHC networks, representing 17 safety net clinic sites across Colorado, to improve their capacity to provide enhanced contraceptive services, including access to long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods. Over the course of the project period, there was a 53% increase in pregnancy intention screening across all participating agencies; a 100% increase in agencies that had a written policy offering same-day insertion of IUDs and implants; and 100% of agencies implemented or scaled up their telehealth services. In FY21, CCACP conducted 103 capacity building activities. -As the Coordinating Center for the NYC Maternal Infant Health Outcomes Project (MIH), funded by the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, CAI helps providers and organizations improve health equity and outcomes through access to high-quality health education, case management, referrals, and health screenings. The project brings together 21 agencies across New York City to deliver intensive interventions to neighborhoods with the greatest disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes. These include support groups in the dominant spoken language, case management programs, on”

“-Since 1992, CAI has led the New York State People Living with HIV/AIDS Leadership Training Institute (LTI), which has served as a visionary mechanism to promote the capacity, leadership, and input of people living with HIV in policy and programmatic decision-making. Supported by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, LTI is a service delivery program that provides training and peer mentoring support to HIV-positive individuals, as well as people with active or cured Hepatitis C; people using harm reduction approaches in recovery; and/or people using PrEP as prevention for HIV transmission, across New York State. LTI helps improve the self-management skills of participants, which in turn increases rates of service uptake, retention in services, and treatment success. It also builds participants' capacity to shape prevention, healthcare, and social services delivery systems across New York State. LTI also helps organizations develop structures, processes, and systems to integrate participants who earn a living wage, and it helps ensure that these organizations receive Medicaid reimbursements. More than 3,200 people living with HIV have graduated from the LTI training program, and in FY21 LTI delivered 10 training and other capacity building events to 154 participants.”

“Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, almost all of Cicatelli's activities have been conducted virtually. The existing classroom-based trainings were converted and delivered as asynchronous, virtual instructor-led trainings.”
