This position will also run reports from PHPA's integrated data system, in order to facilitate quarterly and annual output reports from all funded HIV testing sites (i.e., Maryland local jurisdictions). 

This position will collaborate with external and internal bodies, along with oversight entities; help champion SAMHSA-funded initiatives and opportunities; and, oversee the data components of any resulting contracting from SAMHSA-funded activities. This position will also support the monitoring of HIV, STI, and viral hepatitis program output, as well as support knowledge dissemination resulting from any innovative and responsive programming funded by SAMHSA. 

Also, this position will work closely with all SAMHSA-funded staff members within the CHSIC, along with representatives from the BHA, Maryland's local jurisdictions, and community-based organizations.
