In November and December, the New England ATTC had one-on-one meetings
with all 6 SSA offices to conduct a needs assessment of training and technical assistance
priorities. These meetings were led by Rosemarie Martin, Project Director, and Kelli Scott,
Evaluation Director, and consisted of a discussion of each state’s priorities and identification of
specific initiatives that the New England ATTC can support. The goal of these meetings is to
inform the initiatives in the Year 1 Work Plan to ensure we are focusing on the specific needs of
each state.
The New England ATTC is delighted to announce that our regional TTC now
represents a strategic partnership among UMass Chan Medical School, Brown University School
of Public Health, and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Our Project
Director, Dr. Rosemarie Martin, is now a Professor of Population Quantitative and Health
Sciences at UMass, which inspired the addition of UMass to this cross-institution partnership.
We look forward to continuing to serve all 6 New England states with the support and expertise
of our three University partners.
