Global Health Fellows Program II HIV/AIDS Research Intern Technical Leadership and Research Division, Office of HIV/AIDS, Bureau for Global Health, United States Agency for International Development, Washington, DC Location: Washington, DC No later than an October 2013 start date and up to 6 calendar months OND-P2-011 The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). GHFP-II's goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by addressing the Agency's immediate and emerging human capacity needs. The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels. These program participants include fellows, interns, corporate volunteers and Foreign Service National professionals. The program then provides substantial performance management and career development support to participants, including annual working planning assistance, and ensures that professional development opportunities are available. Looking to the future, GHFP-II also seeks to establish a pool of highly-qualified global health professionals that will ensure the Agency's ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective is supported by an extensive outreach program that brings global health opportunities and specialized career advice to a diverse range of interested individuals, with a particular focus on those underrepresented in the field of global health.   BACKGROUND: The Office of HIV/AIDS (OHA), within USAID's Bureau for Global Health (GH), is the focus of HIV/AIDS technical leadership for the Agency and has primary responsibility for leading the Agency's efforts within President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a $48 billion multifaceted approach to combating the disease in more than 120 countries around the world. In cooperation with the US Department of State's Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator, other US Government (USG) partners, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations, USAID provides global technical leadership on the full range of issues related to HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment; manages numerous research and field support programs; and monitors the impact of the Agency's HIV/AIDS programs. In this endeavor, USAID works very closely with a range of USG agencies involved in the fight against AIDS, such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Defense, and Peace Corps. Additional information about PEPFAR may be found at http://www.pepfar.gov and http://www.usaid.gov/what-we-do/global-health/hiv-and-aids. INTRODUCTION: The HIV/AIDS Research Intern will be assigned to the Technical Leadership and Research Division (TLR) within OHA. TLR provides technical and programmatic expertise to help the Agency and its missions to develop programs that respond to USG, USAID, and Congressional policy and budget priorities as well as incorporate innovations, best practices, and lessons learned. The intern will work primarily on TLR's Research and Evaluation Team, which includes operations research and evaluation on HIV/ AIDS prevention, care, support and treatment as well as microbicides. The intern may also carry out other Bureau-wide duties and participate in collaborative research with other analysts in the Bureau. S/he will work closely with appropriate members of TLR's staff and with a Public Health Advisor as his/her onsite manager. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Gain a greater understanding of the critical relationship of research and evaluation to USAID and PEPFAR programming in the HIV/AIDS sector. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: Support research projects managed by the Research Team, including coordinating technical reviews of reports and deliverables, taking meeting minutes and providing assistance with project management. Conduct literature reviews as needed. Assist in planning and implementation of research activities for OHA. Attend program-related events within and outside USAID as requested. Other tasks or responsibilities may be assigned based on organization and programming need, and the Intern's specific learning interests.

Demonstrated interest in and commitment to public health, international development, or a related field. Strong writing, organizational, and analytic skills.
