Our nation’s health depends on a high-performing public health enterprise. Public Health Advisors (PHAs) play a critical role in assuring this high performance. PHAs often serve as project officers, whose purpose is to serve as an agency staff member who defines program requirements and provides technical knowledge in the negotiation, administration, and monitoring of technical aspects of cooperative agreements. They work with several awardees, providing and coordinating ongoing technical assistance in the accomplishment of these tasks. Project officers also develop recommendations that assist with resolving concerns related to program operations. They are the vital link between the agency in which they work and its partners contributing actively to achieve their agency’s mission. This presentation will illustrate how project officers use administrative data to assess substantial deviations in resource allocations, develop an average program, and create ranges across awardees to provide more informed technical assistance and ensure high-performing public health enterprises.
