Tennessee Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plan Executive Summary
Tennessee has two levels of community planning to ensure that needs are being identified and met from the grassroots level to the statewide level. There are five regional community planning groups (RCPGs); Southwest, West, Middle, Southeast, East, that are responsible for dissemination of the needs assessment, funding recommendations, identification of local priority populations, and providing assistance to the TCPG. RCPG representation consists of community members, health department employees, and funded agencies. RCPGs are co-chaired by a community representative and by a health department representative in each region.

The TCPG‟s primary responsibility is to develop the Tennessee HIV Prevention Plan and provide grant concurrence. The TCPG works in conjunction with the RCPGs to properly identify populations and interventions that would best suit the citizens of Tennessee. The TCPG core members consist of the health department co-chair, a representative from TDH, the community co-chair, and the two co-chairs from each of the five RCPGs. Members of the RCPGs are qualified to become TCPG members as long as they actively participate and upon acceptance of the TCPG application. Additional members are added as needed to meet parity, inclusion and representation.
