DHSTS Public Health Detailing Grant Program

The DHSTS Public Health Detailing Grant Program, led by the New Jersey Department of Health, aims to enhance public health responses by implementing routine HIV and STI testing in emergency departments and primary care. This initiative focuses on strengthening clinical practices and improving early detection and care linkage through evidence-based testing protocols, promoting equitable access to health services across New Jersey.

The New Jersey Department of Health leads the state’s response to public health challenges and works to improve health outcomes for all New Jersey residents. Through its three primary branches—Public Health Services, Health Systems, and Integrated Health—the Department collaborates across programs and partners to strengthen New Jersey’s health system. Guided by its mission to protect public health, promote healthy communities, and improve the quality of health care, the Department supports initiatives that advance prevention, system integration, and equitable access to health services statewide.
This funding opportunity supports the implementation of a statewide Public Health Detailing Project focused on routinizing HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing within emergency departments and primary care settings. Funded activities aim to strengthen clinical practices, increase routine screening, and improve early detection and linkage to care by promoting consistent, evidence-based HIV and STI testing protocols across healthcare sites statewide.
