and to help prevent high-risk behaviors that lead to HIV transmission. 
The division also implements the training and systems strengthening

improving quality and innovation in health professions education and 
training. The division will translate lessons learned from both the 
Global HIV/AIDS Programs and Special Projects of National Significance 
projects to the Part A, B, C, D, and F grantee community. In
