POSITION: Program Manager

ORGANIZATION: NYU Langone Health, Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine, Research Division

Position Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager whose primary role will be to oversee a new five-year study, Implementation of Overdose Prevention Practices in Permanent Supportive Housing, funded by the National Institutes of Health (PI: Dr. Kelly Doran). Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is the gold standard intervention for ending chronic homelessness and has expanded rapidly across the U.S. Due to a confluence of individual and environmental risk factors, PSH tenants face heightened risk for overdose (OD). This study will tailor a set of evidence-based OD prevention practices for PSH settings and study their implementation in 20 PSH buildings in New York. Implementation strategies will include an implementation toolkit, tenant-staff implementation champion dyads, practice facilitation, and learning collaboratives. The project begins with a preparatory phase, using key stakeholder focus groups to develop a PSH OD Prevention Toolkit and implementation guide. Next, a stepped wedge trial of the toolkit will be conducted with 20 PSH buildings. The primary outcome in this Hybrid Type 3 effectiveness-implementation study is PSH building adoption of the OD prevention practices.

We will additionally examine secondary implementation outcomes, tenant clinical outcomes, and implementation sustainment with tenant and staff surveys, administrative data analysis, and qualitative interviews. The multidisciplinary investigator team will work with a Stakeholder Advisory Board. The project will be conducted in partnership with the Corporation for Supportive Housing, a national organization that advances solutions to improve PSH through education, practice, and policy.

The Program Manager will be responsible for providing a broad range of complex program management for the study in conjunction with the PI, community partners, research staff, and other investigators. The Program Manager will hold the primary responsibility for ensuring successful implementation of the study, filling a range of roles and meeting study goals while adhering to regulatory requirements. The Program Manager will play a key role in the development, promotion, direction and coordination of the study, including project design, budget, staffing, logistics, and other functions to ensure deliverables are met effectively, on time, and are of high quality. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, adept in the conduct and oversight of research, and have significant research and community engagement experience and a track record of advancing complex, multi-faceted projects. The Program Manager must be able to work autonomously across a wide variety of areas with limited oversight, while maintaining good communication with the study PI and study partners. While the primary role for the Program Manager will be implementing the described NIH-funded study, we are seeking a candidate who would be excited to grow within the position, eventually taking on oversight and management responsibilities across multiple studies within Dr. Doran’s portfolio and the Health x Housing Lab (described here).

Specific Job Responsibilities:

Recruit, hire, train, and supervise staff and consultants, and ensure all policies and procedures are being adhered to and implemented.
Develop an effective project management system, understanding the “big picture” and carrying out project management tasks and logistics to ensure completion of project activities on time and with fidelity to the study’s goals.
