As many of you know, the Midwest AIDS Training + Education Center (MATEC) is part of a larger AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) network that is funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program – Part F. Indiana is not directly funded for Part F instead Indiana is a local performance site of the MATEC program headquartered at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

MATEC’s current funding cycle ends June 30, 2015 and we are gearing up to apply for continued funding. One of the things that MATEC must do to prepare for the competitive application process is conduct a Regional Needs Assessment. In the past month you should have received a link from Survey Monkey. MATEC would like to remind you to please complete this Regional Needs Assessment. This survey will help to guide our application for funding and programming for the next five years.

MATEC needs strong participation from community stakeholders and people who attend our trainings. Please take a few minutes to respond and tell us what you need. If you have any questions about the Regional Needs Assessment project, please contact Malinda Boehler at 317-880-3520 or mboehler@iupui.edu.

As always – MATEC Indiana appreciates your support!
