New Job Opportunity at the National Institutes of Health

We are looking for a public health evaluation expert who wants to make a 
difference in a rewarding career with us.  We are the National Institute of 
Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)Ľone of the world's leading 
national health research organizations devoted to better understanding the 
unique developmental mechanisms (both biomedical and behavioral), and the 
population and demographic forces, associated with improved health outcomes 
for mothers, children, and families.   The NICHD is one of the 26 health 
research Institutes of the National Institutes of Health in the Department of 
Health and Human Services, located on the main campus in Bethesda, Maryland.

This is an opportunity for a senior program analyst who will be responsible 
for the day-to-day functions and activities associated with developing and 
implementing our trans-Institute program evaluation plan and related analytic 
studies.  In this role, you will assume significant project leadership for a 
wide range of complex evaluation-related activities, including coordinating, 
developing, and implementing an Institute evaluation plan as well as major 
evaluation projects.  You will serve as lead staff for major trans-Institute 
evaluation working groups involving key or senior program officials, or 
overall evaluation advisory groups that may include prominent members of NIH, 
scientific, medical or advocacy
communities.  You will identify, refine, develop, and test existing and
original approaches (both quantitative and qualitative) to evaluate the 
Institute's research programs, portfolios, and related policies and 
activities.  You will also organize, coordinate, facilitate, or participatein 
public and/or private evaluation activities, meetings, and symposia.
