Introduction
Welcome to SPNS/Fax: An Electronic Report from HRSA/HAB's SPNS Cooperative Agreements. In each issue of SPNS/Fax, we will highlight findings from the HRSA Special Projects of National Significance Program Cooperative Agreements. The projects have been funded to develop innovative models of HIV/AIDS care. SPNS/Fax reports are distributed every two weeks by fax machine to all subscribers. All issues of SPNS/Fax are also available at this Web site. Due to slight differences in the media, issues distributed by fax machine may appear slightly different from those posted on this Web site, but the content is identical.

A section provides access to the evaluation modules used for the cross-cutting and local evaluations of the Cooperative Agreement Projects, including the data collection forms, accompanying instructions, and related context information.
Two multimedia presentations on the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio-Project SALUD.
