Mississippi HIV Planning Body Coordination and Administrative Support

The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Office of STD/HIV, is seeking applications from qualified organizations to provide coordination, administrative, logistical, facilitation, and technical support for the Mississippi HIV Planning Body (MHPB). The MHPB serves as a statewide planning and advisory body that supports MSDH in the development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of coordinated STD/HIV prevention and care strategies. The MHPB provides a mechanism for meaningful participation by persons with lived experience, service providers, healthcare professionals, community-based organizations, governmental agencies, public health partners, and other stakeholders involved in Mississippi's STD/HIV response. The MHPB is expected to support statewide planning by reviewing data, identifying community and service needs, providing recommendations regarding priorities and services, participating in the development and review of statewide plans, and advising MSDH regarding emerging STD/HIV-related issues. MSDH seeks an organization capable of providing neutral, organized, responsive, and effective administrative coordination to ensure the MHPB can fulfill its planning and advisory responsibilities. The selected applicant will work under the direction of the MSDH Office of STD/HIV and in collaboration with MHPB leadership, members, committees, and other designated partners.
