The purpose of the National Training Center (NTC) for Family Planning is to assist OPA/OFP and the Title X Regional Training Centers in planning, developing, and coordinating training and support activities for personnel in family planning service programs.

The NTC's goals are to:

• Coordinate and promote the sharing of resources and current training information among Title X-funded training entities.
• Expand communications related to Title X family planning training activities by periodically bringing together OFP staff, Title X-funded training entities, Title X grantees, and experts in family planning, reproductive health, and related areas.
• Strengthen the provision of training on selected topics of broad impact to Title X family planning programs through the establishment of national training guides and curricula.
• Maximize existing public and private training resources for the benefit of the Title X-funded programs, including the National Training Centers, IAATP, grantees, and delegates.

NTC resources include:

• Federal and private sector training resources and modules for Title X-funded projects
• Guidance from a national committee of OPA-funded training centers
• Current listings of speakers, consultants, and training materials developed in recent years by Title X-funded training entities
• Quarterly newsletters to keep you updated on all Title X-related training activities
• Links to Title X training agencies

NTC activities include:

• Collaborating with OPA's Regional and National Training Centers
• Convening expert panels and workgroups
• Coordinating meetings of Title X federal staff regarding Title X-funded training
• Coordinating the Male Health Educator Training Institute
• Coordinating HIV prevention grantee training and technical assistance meetings for OPA/OFP staff, Title X-funded training centers, and Title X HIV grantee personnel
