Proposal Development Coordinator

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to deliver to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. IHME carries out its mission through a range of projects within different research areas including the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Cost Effectiveness and Efficiency; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations. Our vision is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base so all people live long lives in full health.

IHME is committed to providing the evidence base necessary to help solve the world’s most important health problems. This requires creativity and innovation, which are cultivated by an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment that respects and appreciates differences, embraces collaboration, and invites the voices of all IHME team members.

IHME has an outstanding opportunity for a Proposal Development Coordinator (PDC) to join our team. Under the direction of the Senior Proposal Development Officer, the PDC will become proficient in understanding and supporting high-quality proposal development for IHME’s work across different population health metrics topics such as epidemiology, survey methodology, health economics, health system performance, demography, social determinants, future health scenarios, and others. As IHME proposals span a range of topics, gaining fluency in relevant health disciplines is essential to succeeding in this role. The PDC must demonstrate exceptional organizational, logistical, interpersonal, and verbal and written communication skills, and must work effectively with faculty, researchers, project managers, and administrators across a number of projects under dynamic deadlines. The ability to be self-motivated, learn independently, and thrive in dynamic environments will help the PDC be successful. The individual in this role must develop a strong command of the intellectual material and key analytic concepts that relate to the interdisciplinary, quantitative science behind proposal ideas. This will also enable the PDC to identify and present relevant funding opportunities, and to clearly and concisely communicate about the scientific significance, objectives, and impact of proposed projects.
