PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Washington, DC with possible travel as stated in the position description. 8. STATEMENT OF WORK POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND The Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) was created in 1994 as a distinct operating unit within USAID to help local partners advance peace and democracy in priority conflict-prone countries. Seizing critical windows of opportunity, OTI works on the ground to provide fast, flexible, short-term assistance targeted at key transition needs. Countries experiencing a significant political transition in the midst of a disaster or emerging from civil conflict have unique needs that cannot be fully addressed by traditional disaster relief. Timely and effective assistance to promote and consolidate peaceful, democratic advances can make the difference between a successful or a failed transition. DCHA/OTI's strategic objectives are based on the premise that fast, direct, and overt political development assistance is needed as a catalyst to move countries beyond crisis to stability. When a crisis occurs in a priority country, DCHA/OTI has the ability to engage in that country and initiate a country program. A country program is designed to address the fundamental constraints prohibiting the country from emerging from crisis. USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives assists in securing peace by aiding indigenous, mostly non-governmental, civil society and media organizations. The typical OTI country strategy follows US Government policy and directly involves: reshaping hard-line attitudes and perceptions; promoting democracy, human rights, and basic freedoms; disseminating objective information; and effecting positive political change - wherever and whenever possible. OTI uses such mechanisms as support for re-integration of ex-combatants into civilian society; development of initiatives to promote national reconciliation; identification of quick-impact community self-help projects to meet urgent economic needs; and aid to independent media outlets and community-based organizations to help promote informed debate and broaden public participation. To respond quickly and effectively and meet its program objectives and mandate OTI retains a group of high level professionals and experts under personal services contracts (PSCs). These knowledgeable and skilled professionals make up the vast majority of the OTI work force and are at its forefront implementing and achieving the organization's programmatic goals and objectives. For more information about OTI and its country programs please see: http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/cross-cutting_programs/transition_initiatives/ INTRODUCTION The purpose of this contract is to hire multiple Program Managers to support USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (DCHA/OTI) regional activities. The Program Manager will assist one of OTI's regional teams in the management of existing country programs and participate in new country program assessments as the need arises. OTI currently has three regional teams: Asia and Near East (ANE), Africa (AFR), and Latin America and Caribbean (LAC). This is a program-funded USPSC position, which OTI anticipates will focus approximately 80% of time on country program implementation, and approximately 20% of time on strategic planning and program development. This position is a laddered position, which begins at the GS-11 equivalent level. The candidate may be considered for a GS-12 equivalent level after at least one year if s/he receives a recommendation for advancement from the supervisor as part of an excellent performance rating. Advancement to the GS-12 level is not guaranteed. OBJECTIVE The objective of this solicitation is to provide additional PSC staff to provide program management functions for OTI's regional program teams. 9. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Program Manager must be an individual with sound judgment, excellent communication, interpersonal and analytical skills and possess a well-developed understanding of US policy interests.

The successful candidate must also be willing and able to perform a wide range of administrative functions (budget and financial preparation and management, records management, travel assistance, etc) to help ensure programmatic success. The Program Manager will be based in Washington, D.C. and will be a member of one of DCHA/OTI's regional teams responsible for all program implementation-related activity in the specific region.

Funding Opportunity Number: DHS-07-ST-104-001

Application Due Date: 06/19/2007

Summary: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) invites proposals from colleges and universities with established homeland security-related science, technology, engineering and mathematics (HS-STEM) curricula in the fields listed below to establish scientific career development awards to students in priority HS-STEM programs of study. DHS intends to establish an HS-STEM Career Development grants program to enable colleges and universities to award scholarships and fellowships to qualified undergraduate and graduate students in HS-STEM disciplines who intend to pursue homeland security professional and scientific careers.

Research areas eligible for DHS support for students studying in those areas are: 1. Explosives Detection, Mitigation and Response; 2. Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; 3. Human Factors; 4. Chemical and Biological Threats; 5. Border Security and Immigration Studies; 6. Maritime, Coastal and Port Security; 7. Infrastructure Protection and Geophysical Applications to Natural Disasters; 8.Emergency Preparedness and Response; 9. Communications, Operations and Interoperability; 10. Advanced Data Analysis and Visualization; and 11. HS-STEM Introductory and Survey Courses preparatory to one of the above areas of study.

Institutions may submit more than one application from different departments. DHS intends to give preference to institutions included in the existing DHS Centers of Excellence and other DHS S&T affiliated institutions, for a list see (http://www.dhs.gov/xres/programs) because it is both efficient and appropriate to train the next generation of scientists and HS-STEM professionals through research and education programs already funded by DHS to meet its HS-STEM needs.

As part of its mission, DHS S&T is responsible for developing scientific research and technology programs to protect the Nation from terrorist threats and the consequences of natural disasters. DHS S&T is also responsible for supporting United States leadership in science and technology. To ensure homeland security research programs continue into the future, DHS S&T will support grants to qualified undergraduate and graduate students in homeland security-related fields who will use their education and training to become the next generation of scientists and technology leaders. These grants will support the best programs that will train future homeland security-oriented scientists and technologists and ensure their placement in HS-STEM careers.
