·       Collaborate with internal TDH partners, including fiscal, contracts, epidemiology, and legal teams, to ensure compliance with federal and state grant requirements.

·       Participate in site visits, learning collaboratives, and cross-program coordination activities as needed.

·       Contribute to evaluation, reporting, and continuous quality improvement efforts for the HRP MCH portfolio.
