About the Resource Center
The FIMR/HIV Prevention Methodology was created collaboratively by CityMatCH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the College), and the National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program (NFIMR).
CityMatCH, based at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, developed and maintains the FIMR/HIV National Resource Center, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CityMatCH is a national organization representing maternal and child health (MCH) programs and leaders in local health departments across the country. The mission of CityMatCH is to improve the health and well-being of urban women, children and families by strengthening the public health organizations and leaders in their communities.
