BARDA Senior Scientific Project and Program Advisor

Background. In 2006 the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) was established to support and advance the development of vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and innovative technologies for use during public health emergencies. The BARDA model’s success is codified in 1) 60+ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals, licenses, and clearances, 2) 101 Biomedical products supported for COVID-19 response, and 3) 136 BARDA-supported COVID-19 partnerships. This success centers on BARDA’s public-private partnerships, which have accelerated the development of Medical Counter Measures (MCM) vital to our National Security. BARDA provides its partners critical capability and technical support needed to accelerate MCM regulatory approval and deployment, including support for advanced research and development (AR&D), FDA licensure, and clinical use.  Job ResponsibilitiesProvide concept ideas for BARDA Program Division(s)Prepare draft work statements (SOW, SOO, PWSIGCE & Cost Estimates) for solicitations [Request for Information (RFIs), Request for Proposals (RFPs), Sources Sought Notices (SSN), et al].Review and advise on contract proposals (formally and informally submitted), as requested.Provide project development level portfolio management and oversight but in technical and administrative areas.Provide program level portfolio management and oversight.Develop, implement, and consciously improve Total Life Cycle Cost (TLCC) efforts.Assist in contract negotiations on technical matters, as requested.Deliver briefings on relevant subject matter for ASPR/BARDA Senior LeadershipServe as scientific and technical representative for the Program Office(s) concerning the project management of the advanced development, licensure, and acquisition(s) of medical countermeasures, including regulatory and clinical pathways and establishment of manufacturing capacity.
