• Shape and drive our technical research portfolio. Address the central question, “what do we need to answer to advance our goals?”, and translate it into a coherent, high-impact roadmap of research projects. • Scope and oversee active research grants. Run collaborator meetings, scrutinize study design, and clear blockers to keep projects on track and yielding actionable data quickly. • Run RFPs — own the process from concept ideation through proposal review to final recommendation. • Recruit the right researchers — identify and build relationships with teams and individuals best equipped to address our most pressing questions. • Identify and vet new funding opportunities — build a deep understanding of our mission, our priorities, and the reasoning behind them, then proactively scout for opportunities with the highest potential for impact. • Evaluate potential proposals — perform rapid feasibility analyses, assess cost-effectiveness, and rigorously identify potential risks to help us make sound, data-driven funding decisions. • Structure grants — work with our Operations team to determine the scope of funding, set clear milestones, and define reporting requirements. • Monitor grantee progress — work with other program officers to steward grant relationships and flag when to renew, expand, modify, or discontinue funding. • Contribute to Blueprint's public-facing research – shape research reports, strategy roadmaps, white papers, and other materials that inform how governments (focused on the U.S.), funders, and manufacturers think about respiratory protection. • Engage with, and shape, the field – represent Blueprint at conferences, workshops, and convenings where relevant PPE priorities are set, using sound judgment to navigate these spaces independently. • Build strong relationships across the PPE ecosystem – develop trusted connections with experts and stakeholders in government, industry, academia, and philanthropy. • Build deep PPE expertise —track the full picture of PPE, including innovation, production, regulation, stockpiles, and adoption, to become a go-to reference point.

• Leading complex research administration activities for a diverse portfolio of faculty and research units, independently managing high-impact proposals from development through submission. • Serving as an institutional authority for proposal approvals, sponsor submissions, and contract negotiations, including complex federal, international, and non-standard research agreements. • Providing expert guidance on research compliance and regulations, interpreting sponsor requirements, university policy, federal and state laws, and industry best practices for researchers and university leaders. • Partnering with principal investigators, colleges, and administrative leaders to support successful funding pursuits while safeguarding institutional interests and ensuring regulatory compliance. • Mentoring and developing research administration professionals, providing coaching, training, and knowledge-sharing to build expertise across the team. • Leading outreach and education initiatives for the research community, delivering training on electronic research systems, proposal development processes, and sponsored program best practices.
