A fellowship is available in the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) at the Department for Health and Human Services (HHS) in Rockville, Maryland.
OAH coordinates adolescent health promotion and disease prevention programs and initiatives across HHS and works in partnership with other HHS agencies to support evidence-based approaches to improve the health of adolescents.
The fellows will join a multi-disciplinary team of professionals who oversee national grant programs to prevent teen pregnancy and provide support services to expectant and parenting teens, as well as several research and evaluation studies aimed at furthering the evidence of what works to prevent teen pregnancy. The team provides a wide range of support to grantees to ensure their programs and evaluation activities are of the highest quality, including ongoing programmatic and evaluation training and technical assistance, monitoring through the use of uniform performance measure data, assistance disseminating program successes and results, and support for program sustainability.
Under the guidance of a mentor, fellows will:
• Design and administer a survey to current OAH grantees to assess the adequacy and quality of support services provided by OAH, analyze survey results, and develop recommendations for OAH.
• Assisting to develop and support a grantee advisory committee to provide feedback to OAH on program direction, grantee needs, technical assistance products, and OAH guidance.
• Conducting assessments on various topics to determine how OAH grantees are meeting grant expectations. Topics may include, but are not limited to, assessing what OAH grantees are doing to ensure their programs are trauma-informed and implemented in a safe and supportive environment; identifying best practices from grantees for serving expectant and parenting teens; and assessing how grantees and/or youth-serving programs are meaningfully engaging youth.
• Assisting OAH project officers in managing a portfolio of grantees to prevent teen pregnancy and support expectant and parenting teens
• Conducting literature reviews on topics related to enhancing the effectiveness of OAH grant programs.
• Assisting with special projects such as disseminating grantee successes, and developing publications and presentations to showcase program outcomes.
