Technical Editor – Professional Staffing Partners – West Virginia
Professional Staffing Partners is seeking a Technical Editor on a part time, as-needed basis. The location of the work will be performed remotely (off-site).
Background
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the federal agency tasked with conducting research to reduce occupational illnesses, injuries, and hazards. In order to achieve the latter part of this task, NIOSH is also engaged in the transfer of research findings and products to labor, industry, government, and academic groups. In 2006, with the beginning of the second decade of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA), NIOSH organized its portfolio of programs into IO sector programs using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and cross sector programs which constitute health outcomes such as musculoskeletal disorders, bearing loss, and respiratory disease that cut across all industry sector programs. The Institute’s portfolio of programs also includes core and specialty programs that represent core activities, mandates, special emphasis areas and methodological approaches to research. This matrixed approach has allowed NIOSH to more effectively manage its resources and strategically plan with a focus toward the relevance and impact of its programs.
NIOSH is committed to evaluating its relevance and impact through the use of independent expert, peer review. NIOSH recently introduced a Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measure to demonstrate the effectiveness of its programs. The new measure builds on previous external evaluations of eight NIOSH programs conducted by the National Academies and subsequent progress reviews conducted by the NIOSH Board of Scientific Counselors. In 2017, NIOSH will begin a new set of external program reviews. Each of NIOSH programs selected for review will be reviewed by a panel of peers with expertise relevant to the program. The reviews will provide expert feedback to programs regarding the relevance and impact, or potential for impact where appropriate, of their work. This feedback will then be used by NIOSH to inform future program decision making and investments to support NIOSH in its mission to reduce occupational illnesses, injuries, and hazards.
