LOCATION/JOB-TYPE

About the Organization

The Pew Charitable Trusts uses data to make a difference. For more than 70 years, we have focused on serving the public, invigorating civic life, conducting nonpartisan research, advancing effective public policies and practices, and achieving tangible results. Through rigorous inquiry and knowledge sharing, we inform and engage public-spirited citizens and organizations, linking diverse interests to pursue common cause. We are a dedicated team of researchers, communicators, advocates, subject matter experts, and professionals working on some of today’s big challenges – and we know we are more effective and creative collectively than we are individually. With Philadelphia as our hometown and the majority of our staff located in Washington, D.C., our U.S. and international staff find working at Pew personally and professionally rewarding.

Wise stewardship of resources allows Pew employees to pursue work that strategically furthers our mission in significant and measurable ways.

Pew employees are proud of their colleagues, proud of where they work, and proud of the institution’s reputation.

The Government Performance Portfolio within Program

Pew’s government performance work identifies and advances effective approaches to help solve complex challenges at all levels of government in the United States.

The portfolio’s work can be traced back to our founders’ early efforts to improve the lives of Americans by supporting efforts that promoted health, civic engagement, and democratic ideals. Today, we conduct research on emerging topics, develop data-driven reports, and highlight innovative, non-partisan approaches in addressing complex problems at the federal, state, and local levels as well as the interplay that can occur between jurisdictions. Current initiatives focus on health, fiscal and economic policy, and safety and justice, and take into account significant trends such as evolving technologies, and the increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the United States population.

Our teams explore and advance effective, evidence-based policies using credible, timely, and accessible research, assessing public support for change, identifying approaches that have proved successful elsewhere, and bringing together diverse perspectives to find common ground. We work in collaboration with organizations that share our commitment to rigorous research, measurable results, and public service, and we focus on developing durable policy change. In addition, our teams use strategic outreach and dissemination to ensure that good information is widely communicated to decision-makers, media, influential stakeholders, and the public.

Health Impact Project

The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, encourages state, local, and national level organizations to include health considerations in policy decisions across multiple sectors, such as housing, transportation, and education. Research shows that social, economic, and community conditions affect health and the quality and duration of people’s lives. These influences include employment, education, housing, transportation, and interactions with the criminal justice system, to name a few. Yet historically, policy and programmatic decisions in these areas have been made without consideration of the potential health impacts or of health equity—the guiding principle that disparities in health outcomes caused by factors such as race, income, or geography should be addressed and prevented, providing opportunities for all people to be as healthy as possible. The project identifies and advances evidence-based strategies to improve health in communities with disproportionately poor health outcomes.

Through technical assistance, training, convenings, and grants, the project helps organizations and policymakers identify health-promoting policies, practices, and research for integration into their work. The project also works to create cross-sector partnerships that include the expertise of health care and public health systems. By engaging community stakeholders and translating research into action, the project seeks to make health a valued consideration in decision-making and improve the well-being of underserved places and populations.

About the Position

The associate I contributes to multiple initiatives including the project’s: (1) health note program, which helps state and local lawmakers learn the potential health implications of proposed legislation and policies; (2) Calling All Sectors – State Agencies Joined Together for Health initiative, which is designed to forge lasting collaborations across agencies and with non-governmental community organizations to consider cost-effective, evidence-based solutions addressing public health challenges, such as maternal and infant health and well-being; and (3) Breaking Barriers to Better Health for All initiative, which supports partnerships between community organizations and decision-makers to use Health in All Policies approaches to help advance health equity and inform evidence-based policies or practices, with a specific focus on the built environment and precarious employment.

Tasks to support these initiatives could include assisting with: (1) expedited literature reviews and policy analysis (2) grant program monitoring; (3) coordination of grantee, partner, and thought leader events; and (4) development and management of newsletter or web resource content.

The position, based in Pew’s Washington, D.C., office, reports to a Senior Manager, Health Impact Project. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

Responsibilities

Develop research summaries, issue briefs, case studies, and other materials for lay, scientific, and policy audiences, as well as community members.
Conduct research and policy analysis to support work by the project and its partners to incorporate health considerations in sectors such as housing, community development, and employment.
Assist in planning and executing events, such as virtual or in person grantee convenings, advisory committee meetings, or webinars.
Support grant programs, including tracking grantee and contract deliverables.
Work with Pew’s communications department and other team members to develop content for newsletters, the project’s website, and other communications vehicles designed to communicate the work of the project, its partners, and grantees to internal and external audiences.
Assist in processing contracts and grants. Ensure that contracts and subgrants submitted for Pew review and approval are complete, accurate, and timely.
Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience is required.
At least one year of applicable experience. Experience with local and state government a plus.
Demonstrated excellence in applied research and policy analysis and ability to contribute to multi-disciplinary teams.

Preparing internal and external memoranda, analyses, and short-form materials such as fact sheets and talking points.

Skilled at operating effectively within diverse political, policy, and social environments to advance programmatic objectives and navigate conflict by building consensus.
