Hello *|HTML:FIRSTNAME|*,

NACDD, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are excited to announce an additional training opportunity to become a National DPP State Quality Specialist (SQS). This training is open to State Health Department diabetes staff and contractors working on 1815/1817 cooperative agreements.

We are currently accepting applications from State Health Departments who do not have a trained National DPP State Quality Specialist in their state and are interested in taking part in the next round of National DPP SQS trainings scheduled for May 2022. You are receiving this announcement because your state does not currently have a National DPP SQS.

Vision: The overall vision of this training opportunity is to have a trained workforce of specialists focused on providing high quality technical assistance and support to delivery organizations and their partners. We envision that all states will eventually have at least one trained National DPP State Quality Specialist. In addition to this training opportunity, NACDD and CDC will provide post-training support for trained specialists. To apply, review the background factsheet below then complete the application for the May 2022 National DPP SQS training. Our intention is to notify training applicants about their acceptance to trainings by Dec. 10, 2021.
 
Other Learning Opportunities: Plan your participation in other CDC and NACDD group peer-to-peer active learning opportunities that will best support your work. These opportunities will address the following topics next year (March 2022 to November 2022):
  • Umbrella Hub Arrangements for the National DPP
  • Increasing Medicare DPP Suppliers
  • Increasing enrollment in Medicare DPP
We’ll share more about these opportunities in early January 2022.
