In January 1996, the APA Office on AIDS established the BSSV Program to promote and assist the involvement of behavioral and social scientists in HIV prevention efforts at the local level. It is funded by CDC as part of the Technical Assistance Team for HIV Prevention Community Planning. In addition the BSSV Program provides technical assistance for all Program Announcement 704 agencies. This collaborative, capacity-building initiative involving APA, the Academy for Educational Development (AED), CDC, and the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) has focused on the identification and preparation of qualified scientists who are interested in offering their expertise and time to enhance HIV prevention efforts in their community.

The BSSV Program has been organized to assist HIV prevention efforts in the following ways:

(1)     By recruiting qualified behavioral and social scientists from several disciplines for volunteer participation in HIV prevention planning and implementation activities in their respective communities;

(2)     By orienting behavioral and social scientists to the HIV Prevention Community Planning process and issues involved in establishing successful working relationships with community planning groups (CPGs) and community-based organizations (CBOs);   

(3)     By linking behavioral and social scientists with prevention planners and implementers in their respective communities in collaboration with NASTAD, CDC Program Consultants, the CDC Behavioral Intervention Research Branch, the CDC Training and Technical Support System Branch, and national technical assistance providers.
