GRADE

LOCATION OF POSITION

MDH/Prevention and Health Promotion Administration, Office of Budget & Management/Center for Budget & Finance, Baltimore, Maryland

Main Purpose of Job

The Maryland Department of Health's (MDH) Prevention and Health Promotion Administration's (PHPA) mission is to protect, promote and improve the health and well-being of all Marylanders and their families through the provision of public health leadership and community-based public health efforts, in partnership with Local Health Departments (LHDs), providers, community-based organizations, and public and private sector agencies, with special attention to at-risk and vulnerable populations. This very large Administration was formed through the consolidation of three (3) smaller Administrations (Community Health Administration, Family Health Administration, and AIDS Administration), all of which existed as separate entities as recently as July, 2009.

This position will oversee all budgetary, accounting, and other fiscal matters of assigned programs housed within PHPA, which has an annual budget of approximately $351.2 million. This budget consists of general, federal, special, and reimbursable funds, along with approximately 500 regular and contractual staff. Assigned program areas include: Environmental; Occupational and Injury Epidemiology; Food and Milk Protection; Injury and Sexual Assault Protection; Healthy Homes and Community Services; and, Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Outbreak Response. 

This position will also develop recommendations for budget/expenditure plans and provides in-depth analysis of spending affordability. Additionally, this position will provide oversight of assigned federal grants, such as Block Grants, Categorical Grants and Contracts, as well as Special Fund revenue sources, while assuring compliance with federal expenditure reporting requirements (quarterly/annual reporting). Furthermore, this position will provide supervision and training to subordinate fiscal staff, in order to ensure consistency in fiscal management within PHPA. 

This position will share responsibility as a Coordinator of all FMIS tracking activities, as well as for developing and maintaining PHPA’s internal financial tracking systems, and for ensuring the accurate completion of federal fiscal reports in assigned program areas. This position will assure adherence to State and federal regulations, along with all special conditions associated with the various fund sources of assigned program areas. Lastly, as one of three (3) Fiscal Chief positions within PHPA, this position will be responsible for developing a working knowledge and familiarity of all program areas within PHPA, specifically those which fall outside the scope of primary responsibility of this position. 

Through cross training of the incumbent in this position, PHPA will be the beneficiary of a more valuable employee capable of providing essential fiscal expertise and oversight in any program area where needed, in the event of the non-availability of another Fiscal Chief position, due to an extended absence or vacancy.
