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 the efforts of the Indiana Department of Health, Indiana 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 within a 50-mile radius of Indianapolis or Crown Point, Indiana. The PHA will work a hybrid schedule with regular visits to partner offices. 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.
