Job Description:

Overview

ERPi is currently searching for a full-time Behavioral and Social Sciences Intervention SME to support to support The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR).

In this role the Behavioral and Social Sciences Intervention SME will be responsible for:

Review and refine the previous coding scheme to assure the criteria for each category of coding are clear. This may include identification of key features in the research strategy section of grant that facilitate the ability to discriminate between categories. Test the coding scheme on a subset of grants (never coded and coded in the previous project) to assure adequate interrater reliability of the revised coding scheme. Several iterations may be required to achieve sufficient interrater reliability. Using subject matter expertise in behavioral and social science intervention research (experts supplied by the contractor), apply the revised coding scheme to a random sample of at least 3 years of behavioral intervention research (up to 900 randomly selected funded grants and 900 randomly selected submitted unfunded applications). Produce a report on summary results, including but not limited to frequencies by year and category differences between funded and unfunded research. Other categories of reporting, to be determined in coordination with OBSSR staff, might include how this data differs by Institute or Center, study section, disease categories, principal investigator characteristics such as discipline, or coding about the evidence cited to support testing an adaptation. Provide a final summary report of the results and methodology used as well as a copy of the data files. The report should include summary statistics, any statistics on comparisons, as well as figures and/or tables that illustrate the results. Meet regularly (e.g., monthly) with OBSSR staff to provide updates on progress and discuss any issues with the analyses. Send meeting summaries/minutes and action items within 3 days after each meeting.

Required Skills and Experience:
Must have subject matter expertise in behavioral and social science intervention research Must have access to or be eligible to gain access to the grant information in IMPAC II and relevant NIH analysis resources and tools (e.g., QVR, iSearch, RCDC) Experience with analyzing funded grants Ability to develop coding schemes Ability to write high-quality, methodologically rigorous reports Strong problem solving and analytical skills Able to analyze quantitative and qualitative data Ability to work in a dynamic, collaborative, and results-driven environment Ability to build and manage client relationships at all levels Ability to think strategically to effectively assess clients' situation and assemble solutions to meet needs Strong verbal and written communication skills, including reports and presentations Strong organization and prioritization skills Bachelor's Degree or higher in a relevant discipline
