Purpose:





fill in the gaps,
quick hit to get an answer for mid-term adjustment
Tailor approaches appropriate to individual focus countries
Coordinate efforts for TA and training for TE/OR capacity building
Different models possible
SPNS Evaluation Center Model
Supports development and evaluation of innovative models of HIV care, typically
funding 5-10 demonstration sites and an Evaluation and Support Center which
provides leadership in design and evaluation of interventions including:

Lead and facilitate the demonstration sites in refining interventions and local
evaluation

Provide TA to the demonstration sites and responsible for developing centralized
training, communication and dissemination activities

Conduct needs assessment of site capacity to perform intervention and participate in
cross-site evaluation activities (e.g. data collection and transfer)

Design and conduct cross-site evaluation including development of standardized core
data elements (biologic, clinical and psychosocial outcomes)

Develop common evaluation and research protocols

Design and oversee initiative website, plans meetings, site visits



Some challenges - working with existing sites that have:
diverse interventions in various stages of development
different resource needs and capacity/willingness to do evaluation
Timing of Funding
1.
Evaluation Center is funded prior to the demonstration sites
Example: Prevention with Positives Initiative – UCSF, Steve Morin, PI
Advantages:

A head start on planning cross-site evaluation, communication, website and
other responsibilities

Develop RFA for demonstration sites
Disadvantages:

Takes longer to get interventions up and running

Cross-site is less collaborative
2.
Evaluation Center is funded at the same time as the demonstration sites
Example: Caribbean Peer Support Initiative – AED, Elvis Fraser, PI
Advantages:

Sites work with Center on development of cross site evaluation

Interventions can start sooner
Disadvantages:

Decision making less centralized (messy)

Demonstration site RFA is less focused, prescriptive

Focus of Emphasis
Priority 1: Clinical implications of ARV treatment scale-up

What are optimal approaches for ensuring drug adherence and minimizing
disinhibition in Emergency Plan focus countries?

What are the characteristics and causes of viral resistance to ARV treatment in
Emergency Plan focus countries?

What is the differential effect on patient outcomes for ARV treatment provided by
physician versus non-physician providers?
Priority 2: Behavior change

What is the effect of the ABC approach to prevention on HIV risk behavior in
Emergency Plan focus countries?

What is the effect of widely available care and Tx on approaches to HIV prevention?

What is the effect of PMTCT/PMTCT+ on HIV risk behaviors of participating mothers?
Priority 3: Care and support

What are the components of successful care models for OVC?

What are the components of successful palliative care models?
Other studies:

Other studies may be conducted based on SI requirements or other needs

Does the administration of single-dose nevirapine reduce mother-to-child
transmission in Emergency Plan focus countries?

What are the components of a successful networked health care system?
CAVEAT: Need to listen to what the countries define as their TE/OR needs
