Opportunities will likely include, but will not be limited to review of the evidence base to inform recommendations for improved public health implementation, develop and refine evaluation and monitoring questions to assist Army leaders to make data informed decisions; develop data collection tools; collect, analyze and report qualitative and/or quantitative data; and communicate findings. In preparing you for the labor force, APHC will provide opportunities for you to regularly collaborate with project team members and occasionally collaborate with external partners of the APHC to collect, analyze, and interpret data, translate findings into actionable recommendations, and assist partners to develop plans for action informed by findings and recommendations.
