Public Health Analyst

About the position

The Overdose Response Strategy (ORS) is an initiative designed to enhance public health-public safety collaboration and strengthen efforts to reduce drug overdose deaths. The ORS is funded by CDC and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to help communities reduce fatal and non-fatal drug overdose rates by improved information sharing across public health and public safety agencies, and by supporting evidence-based intervention. As of July 2021, there are ORS Public Health Analyst (PHA) and Drug Intelligence Officer (DIO) positions in 50 states, the District of Columbia (D.C.), Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. PHA positions are funded by CDC through the CDC Foundation and DIO positions are funded by ONDCP through the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program. These state teams form the foundation of the ORS and work to promote overdose prevention and response efforts, and increase communication, data flow, and intelligence sharing between public safety and public health within and across ORS states. The CDC Foundation seeks candidates for a full-time Public Health Analyst to support the ORS. This position will support efforts of the Maine Office of Behavioral Health, Maine Information and Analysis Center (MIAC), New England HIDTA, and other key partners in the development and implementation of drug overdose information sharing systems and evidence-based prevention programs. The Public Health Analyst must be based in Maine. The PHA will have a hybrid schedule, working remotely with weekly visits to Maine Information and Analysis Center (MIAC) located in Augusta, Maine. Periodic travel to meetings within the state and travel out of state to regional meetings and the ORS Annual Conference is required. Relocation expenses are not provided.
