Our Work
NASTAD is a $15 million member association comprised of health departments’ HIV/AIDS and hepatitis program directors in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, seven local jurisdictions receiving direct funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the U.S. affiliated Pacific Island jurisdictions. The local jurisdictions are Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles County, Houston, New York City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. The U.S. affiliated Pacific Island jurisdictions are American Samoa, Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau.
NASTAD’s seven programmatic teams—Health Care Access, Health Systems Integration, Policy & Legislative Affairs, Hepatitis, Prevention, Health Equity, and Drug User Health—interpret and influence policies, conduct trainings, offer technical assistance, and provide advocacy mobilization for health departments to improve health outcomes for people living with HIV and hepatitis. NASTAD’s operations team (finance, human resources, administration, etc.) is an integral part of its work and supports programs to advance NASTAD’s mission and values. The organization is governed by, and works closely with, a Board of Directors composed of 23 elected public health department members.
NASTAD is largely funded by federal grants from HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration) and the CDC. Our current staff headcount is 66, including 19 staff working remotely outside of the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. NASTAD follows a flexible remote work policy allowing staff to work from the office, telework, and work remotely. NASTAD has one office located in the District of Columbia. At this time, NASTAD does not have any operations or staff overseas.
The Manager, Health Care Access, plays a vital role in expanding the organization’s Public Health Systems objectives, including the support of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RHWAP) Part B recipients and AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs). Under supervision from the Associate Director and in close collaboration with the Director, the Manager will lead many of the program’s RWHAP Part B and ADAP training and technical assistance efforts, including those supported by NASTAD’s cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau. The Manager will also provide quantitative analytics and qualitative analyses to support Health Care Access team monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) efforts; the National RWHAP Part B and ADAP Monitoring Project (including its annual report); and the ADAP Crisis Task Force (ACTF).
