Prajwal Mani Pradhan, MPH-PHAP student, received a Star Award from the Minnesota Department of Health for his contributions to two major grant programs. Pradhan was instrumental in aggregating and cleaning report data at an advanced performance level well beyond his classification as senior student worker.

His work was key to completing the federal requirements to upload data to the Minnesota Personal Responsibility Education Program (MN PREP) and Minnesota Student Parent Support Initiative’s Web-Based Performance Measures Reporting Systems. Both grant programs’ measures will be used to monitor both programs’ performance and identify areas for program improvement in Minnesota.
