Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Scientific Advisor - Rockville, United States - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Description
Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Scientific Advisor
Chief, Biodefense Research Countermeasures Branch
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the largest institutes in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. The Office of Biodefense Research and Surety (OBRS) in the Office of Science Management and Operations, NIAID, seeks a highly qualified candidate to serve as a chemical biological radiological nuclear (CBRN) scientific advisor and chief of the Biodefense Research Countermeasures Branch reporting to the Director of OBRS.
OBRS serves as the NIAID focal point for coordinating, planning, and implementing the biodefense research supported by NIAID. OBRS disseminates information on the institute's biodefense research programs, policies, and funding opportunities and coordinates biodefense and biodefense-related research issues across NIH.
A key responsibility of OBRS is oversight of the Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP), which consists of an annual discovery research and early development budget of approximately $52 million and includes the participation of eight NIH institutes and centers.
OBRS oversees the NIAID emergency preparedness planning and continuity of operations planning offices. In addition, OBRS participates in the governance of the high-containment task force and serves as the NIAID liaison with the NIH Office of the Director, HHS, and other federal departments and agencies regarding intelligence gathering and analysis that may impact NIH programs and operations.
The CBRN scientific advisor provides scientific expertise and advice on a wide range of biodefense research issues, including 1) classical chemical warfare agents such as sarin, soman, VX, sulfur mustard, Lewisite, and cyanide, as well as next-generation chemical threats, 2) toxic industrial chemicals, their pharmacological actions, and their health-related effects, 3) military medical countermeasures that may have civilian applications, 4) health physics, including knowledge of radionuclides and other ionizing radiological hazards, 5) National Regulatory Commission requirements for the handling, storage, security, and disposal of radioactive materials, 6) FDA-approved medical products with potential application for treatment and/or prevention of chemically induced injury, 7) the latest scientific, technical, and therapeutic developments and research efforts related to biodefense-related hazards and incidents, and 8) lifecycle management of medical products, beginning with needs assessment and concept development and progressing through phases of research and eventual licensure by the FDA.
The CBRN scientific advisor also serves as chief of the Biodefense Research Countermeasures Branch, which is responsible for executing the CCRP, defining and managing the development of NIH-wide chemical medical countermeasure research, policies, objectives, and funding initiatives, and administering product development support services for medical countermeasures (MCMs) against chemical threats and efficacy screening programs to facilitate chemical toxicity research and MCM discovery and early product development.
