The Evaluation and Dissemination Center or EDC is a collaborative Center run by The Measurement Group with PROTOTYPES for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau's Special Projects of National Significance between 1994 and 2000.

The Measurement Group was the lead in the Evaluation and Dissemination Center and primarily responsible for the majority of its activities, including the cross-cutting national evaluation, all instruments used in the evaluation, most dissemination products, and this web site. PROTOTYPES was responsible for national meeting logistics, certain grantee coordination activities, and some dissemination activities. The EDC supported 27 HRSA SPNS Cooperative Agreement projects both during their funding cycle (1994 - 1999) and for six months after the projects ended their funding cycle while national evaluation results were developed, posted on the Internet, and prepared for publications.

The EDC is funded through March 31, 2000. This web site and all evaluation instruments and results will continue to be available after that time as The Measurement Group will assume responsibility for keeping these materials online and for enhancing them as necessary and appropriate.
