National ADAP Monitoring Project - The Access Project

The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) commissions the National ADAP Monitoring Project and conducts it in partnership with the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) and the AIDS Treatment Data Network (ATDN). The Project seeks to provide timely information on trends and issues that impact state and territorial ADAPs. In addition to its annual report, released in the spring each year, the Project develops issue briefs that allow exploration and analysis of a single topic concerning ADAPs in great depth.

The Annual ADAP Survey, conducted by NASTAD, serves as the basis for the Project's annual report. The survey requests ADAP directors to provide program data including total estimated annual program budget and monthly expenditures, client utilization, and client demographics from June of each year. The resulting data create a snapshot of ADAPs that can be compared over time. KFF, NASTAD, and ATDN analyze the data and co-author the report.

This survey and reports, as well as ADAP Watch, are now provided by NASTAD .
