About the opportunity
Advise a national maternal-health portfolio review on Title V, PQCs, MMRCs, state systems, program evaluation, implementation performance, and the practical interpretation of cross-program evidence.
What you will own

• Review the evaluation framework, evidence standards, program-alignment logic, and interpretation of state variation.
• Challenge assumptions involving Title V, PQCs, MMRCs, AIM implementation, measures, and program maturity.
• Participate in kickoff, four prepared quarterly reviews, targeted consultations, and final recommendations review.
• Test whether findings and recommendations are feasible, defensible, and useful to federal and state decision-makers.

Required qualifications

• 12+ years in maternal-health program leadership, evaluation, implementation research, Title V, a PQC, an MMRC, state MCH systems, or comparable multi-state work.
• Demonstrated evaluation or performance-review accomplishments with accepted products or decisions influenced.
• Ability to distinguish evidence strength, implementation context, limitations, and appropriate conclusions.

Preferred qualifications

• Direct HRSA/MCHB, state MCH, national association, academic-center, or federal maternal-health experience.
• Mixed-methods, implementation-science, quality-improvement, or portfolio-assessment expertise.

How your qualifications will be evaluated
45% maternal-health program and state-systems depth; 35% evaluation/implementation accomplishments; 20% advisory judgment and accepted products.
Your application should prove

• Your personal role—not only the team’s capability.
• The mission setting and methods used.
• Scale in states, programs, participants, datasets, sessions, or deliverables.
• A concrete result, accepted product, or decision influenced.

No employer or institutional endorsement will be implied without authorization.
