This position is for a Health Science Policy Analyst in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program Office, Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The ECHO Program is an extramural program within the Office of The Director of the NIH. Launched in 2016, ECHO aims to enhance the health of children for generations to come. ECHO investigators study the effects of a broad range of early environmental influences on child health and development. The program consists of ongoing observational studies and a pediatric clinical trials network. Research conducted through ECHO focuses on five key pediatric outcomes that have a high public health impact: pre-, peri- and postnatal outcomes; upper and lower airway health; obesity; neurodevelopment; and positive health, such as happiness and a sense of wellbeing.

The incumbent Health Science Policy Analyst would be responsible for analyzing and monitoring developments in several areas of science as they affect ECHO research, policies, and legislation, and for furnishing policy guidance and assistance regarding science policy issues, as required to appropriate Institute, NIH, and DHHS staff, and consulting with them regarding any of the many issues relevant to pediatric environmental health research activities. The ability to function independently, conceptualize and develop policy documents, conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis, translate scientific information into lay language for various audiences, and contribute to strategic planning documents is essential.
