The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is seeking
an innovative and visionary leader to be the chief, Transplantation Branch
(TB), Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation (DAIT), one of
three extramural program divisions within NIAID. The TB chief plans and
manages a broad portfolio of solicited grant initiatives,

significant side effects.

following:
•	Planning, awarding, and managing a broad extramural portfolio of
solicited grant initiatives, investigator-initiated grants, and contracts
that includes 1) basic, preclinical, and clinical research and 2) clinical
trial networks, in the scientific area of prevention and treatment of
rejection after organ, tissue, or cell transplantation
•	Directing TB with scientific leadership to advance understanding of organ
transplantation, leading to the prevention of organ rejection by new and
improved modalities of therapy
•	Exercising broad influence by developing and articulating programmatic
goals and objectives in alignment with U.S. and global health priorities,
including addressing needs of minority patients in organ transplantation
•	Providing leadership and supervision for the strategic management of
human and financial resources
•	Developing and maintaining collaborations across NIH, other federal
agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and industry
