Emory Centers for Public Health Training and Technical Assistance

What Emory Centers for Public Health Training and Technical Assistance does

Emory Centers for Public Health Training and Technical Assistance is a capacity-building organization operating since 2000 within Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, headquartered at 1518 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia. It delivers training, technical assistance, strategic planning, program evaluation, and organizational development to state and local health departments, community-based organizations, healthcare systems, and HIV/AIDS service organizations across the United States, with particular depth in the Southern U.S. The portfolio is organized into six specialized centers: DTTAC (Diabetes Training and Technical Assistance Center), EnCORE (Engaging Communities and Organizations Ready for Excellence), PEQI (Program Evaluation and Quality Improvement), TTAC (Training and Technical Assistance Center), ECCC (Emory COMPASS Coordinating Center), and the Diabetes MATCH Initiative.

Core products include evidence-based Lifestyle Coach Training ($699-$849 per person) aligned with CDC's National Diabetes Prevention Program, the Master Trainer Select Program ($1,895 one-time plus annual renewal), advanced skills bootcamps, peer learning series, webinars ($45-$65 per person), and the CDC Group Coaching Certificate Program ($2,500 per person). The technology ecosystem is conventional rather than proprietary: a Shopify-based Training Hub for registration, Learn Upon LMS for podcast and module delivery, Zoom for synchronous sessions, and a Ning-based Common Ground platform for online peer communities. The most differentiated assets are Emory Centers' own branded frameworks — In the Know Learning, Know-Plan-Go strategic planning, and DTTAC Advance — together with content and curricula aligned to CDC DPRP recognition standards.

Revenue mechanics blend two streams: (1) large multi-year federal and philanthropic grants, including a five-year $50 million CDC grant for the Diabetes MATCH Initiative (2023-2028) and a ten-year $100 million Gilead Sciences COMPASS Initiative commitment (2018-2028), under which Emory Centers has dispersed over $6.6 million in sub-grants (2018-2022); and (2) fee-for-service training, professional development, and consulting delivered to government agencies, nonprofits, and healthcare providers. Distribution runs through direct inquiry, the self-service Training Hub, in-person regional trainings, virtual/distance learning, and partnerships with CDC, ADCES, Gilead, HRSA, and McKing Consulting Corporation. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
