ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER III **Repost**

Program Assistant/Grant Monitor

Recruitment #18-002247-0073

Introduction

The CDC’s Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program provides funding to the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) and other state health departments throughout the U.S. The Rape and Sexual Assault Prevention Program (RSAPP), within MDH, works collaboratively with diverse stakeholders, including the state sexual violence coalition, educational institutions, rape crisis centers, community organizations, and other state agency partners to guide implementation of Maryland's sexual violence prevention efforts.

Primary prevention—stopping sexual violence before it begins—is the cornerstone of RSAPP. Program activities are guided by a set of principles that include: preventing first-time occurrence of sexual violence; reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors linked to sexual violence perpetration and victimization; using the best available evidence when planning, implementing, and evaluating prevention programs; incorporating behavior and social change theories into prevention programs so that behavior patterns, cultural values, and norms contributing to sexual violence will change over time; analyzing state and community data, such as health and safety data, to inform program decisions and monitor trends; and evaluating prevention efforts and using the results to improve future program plans.

The Administrative Officer III position provides support to RSAPP by working with internal and external stakeholders and sub-recipients to ensure that primary prevention program activities are aligned with MDH and CDC priorities. A background in health education, community education, and/or public health is applied when participating in the project planning process, when collaborating with and providing technical assistance to stakeholders, and when developing and sharing information for professionals and the public about sexual violence prevention.
