The New York Association of City and County Health Officials and American Planning Association, with support from CDC, will conduct a 1-1/2 day Health Impact Assessment (HIA) training workshop to educate local public health practitioners and planners in HIA methodology on Feb. 2 and 3, 2006 in Washington, D.C. Five community pairs will be selected for the training through a competetive Request for Application (RFA) process. The RFAs are due by Dec. 9 to NACCHO.

Acceptance of the applicants will be based in part on the applicants' familiarity with HIA or environmental/community health assesment, existing partership with local health or planning department, and detailed plan of action of how they will use HIA in their community.
