How does RHYTTAC determine which training event topics or technical assistance clinics topics are delivered?
RHYTTAC selects the topics for Training and Technical Assistance events based on a series of criteria: • Review of the topics/issues that have been most requested by the grantees through our 1 (800) number, emails, phone calls, etc. • Review of any new legislation that may require changes or additions to program services such as the new RHY Act legislation requiring programs to implement an Emergency Preparedness and Management Plan. • Surveys of programs to get input from the grantees on the topics or issues needed by the field. • Surveys of FYSB Federal Project Officers to collect information on trends and issues identified through program monitoring. • Mapping of the newest grantees and their locations to see if or what would best serve their immediate needs within reasonable proximity to their programs. • Finally, RHYTTAC compiles all the information gathered and determines the highest priorities for Training and Tier 2 Technical Assistance in conjunction with FYSB.
