Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health

For the completion of a study on Medicaid managed care and family planning in Baltimore City. The research addresses two issues: the path women take as they move from traditional Medicaid coverage to enrollment in managed care organizations; and how mandated managed care affects the providers of reproductive health services to the Medicaid population.

Toward the launching of the 95 Percenters, an initiative designed to mentor at-risk male youth in Baltimore’s inner city.

Toward staffing costs of a senior research analyst to manage and staff the Evaluation and Accountability Committee of the Baltimore Workforce Investment Board. As part of the project, the analyst will provide recommendations for improving Baltimore’s Workforce Development System by creating an “evaluation landscape map” of research being conducted. The purpose of this effort is to determine the gaps in data collection and analyses. With partnering agencies and other Workforce Investment Board members, the analyst will create performance measures of Baltimore’s workforce development system for validation and implementation by the Workforce Investment Board.
