CSH is a National Training and Technical Assistance Partner (NTTAP) funded by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) through the Bureau of Primary Healthcare (BPHC).
What is an NTTAP?
NTTAPs are responsible for creating, managing, coordinating, and assessing training and technical assistance for health centers. Our role is crucial in helping health centers support special populations. NTTAPs also assist health centers in maintaining financial stability, implementing effective workforce development, utilizing health information technology, and delivering healthcare services that are culturally and linguistically fitting for their patients.
