The Family Planning Male Training Center (FPMTC)

Funding for The Family Planning Male Training Center (FPMTC) is provided through a five-year contract (2004-2009) from the Office of Family Planning (OFP), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). The PI is H. William Gruchow, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Public Health Education, a national academic leader in the study of male health/involvement and in the training of Health Educators. The FPMTC works collaboratively with the ten OFP Regional Training Centers and other community-based and academic organizations to provide training and leadership in promoting male family planning and reproductive health issues.

There are currently about 4,500 clinics in the United States that receive OFP funding to provide family planning services to both female and male clients.
