*Needs and Uses:* To augment efforts focused on integrated primary prevention (IPP), DoD is hiring about 2,500 IPP personnel comprised of full-time personnel (herein called the Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce or IPPW) and part-time or support personnel. As this significant investment in prevention unfolds, a DoD-sponsored evaluation is necessary to track the progress and impact of these new personnel, as well as identify any mid-course corrections that should be made to the hiring, orientation, or integration process to maximize the impacts of this investment. Hiring these new personnel was recommended by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) on Sexual Assault in the Military and endorsed by Secretary of Defense as a priority for DoD (Recommendation 2.2: Establish a dedicated primary prevention workforce). Thus, this project will provide support to decision makers and leaders within the DoD and external to DoD ( *e.g.,* IRC members) as well as the service branches and installations that hire and integrate the new personnel.
