OPPORTUNITIES
Senior Science Policy Analyst
Organization: American Association for Cancer Research
Website: www.aacr.org
Location: 1425 Kˇ Street, Washington, DC
Category: Executive/Exempt
Department: Science Policy and Government Relations
Reports To: Senior Director of Science Policy and Government Relations
Position Summary:
The AACR is the oldest and largest cancer research organization in the world dedicated to the conquest of cancer. The mission of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is to prevent and cure cancer at the earliest possible time through research, education, communication, and collaborations. Its membership includes 27,000 of the most accomplished scientists in the world in laboratory, translational, clinical, and epidemiological research related to cancer. The scientific scope of the AACR and its members includes the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. Since science policy must devolve from high-quality science, AACRâ•˙s national and international scientific heft, prestige, and integrity make its work in cancer science policy all the more important in advancing cancer research and reducing cancer incidence and mortality.
The AACR has engaged in policy initiatives since the late 1980â•˙s. Its role in policy has included, among other issues, advocating for more federal research dollars, working with the FDA on Critical Path Initiative such as predictive biomarkers for therapy, acknowledging the contributions of key political figures to cancer and biomedical research, and taking positions on various scientific and technical areas that have policy implications for the cancer field. These activities are being expanded as a result of the recent opening of AACRâ•˙s Washington, DC Office, and over time the DC office will become even more integrated into the scientific and educational mission of the AACR that is fostered out of the AACR headquarters in Philadelphia.
Under the leadership of the Senior Director of Science Policy and Government Relations, the Senior Science Policy Analyst works closely with the Science Policy and Legislative Affairs Committee and the Board of Directors in implementing a wide range of exciting science policy programs and activities related to the mission of the American Association for Cancer Research. Such activities are designed to create and strengthen the dialogue between policymakers and cancer scientists and advocates, to educate policymakers, and to make substantive contributions to removing policy barriers to advances in cancer research. These policies are recommended by the AACR Science Policy and Legislative Affairs Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on behalf of the collective membership of the AACR. A strategic plan for science policy and legislative affairs is currently underway that will guide these AACR activities into the future.
Senior Science Policy Analyst plays a central role in the success of AACR's work in this important area and guides AACR policy activities to a productive conclusion. The staff member provides real-time information, analysis, and expert oversight of legislative issues and pending bills related to the cancer field, and reports on them to the Senior Director of Science Policy and Government Relations , the CEO, other AACR officers, AACR committee members, and AACR members at large. To maximize AACR's efforts in science policy, the Senior Science Policy Analyst educates legislators and their staffs about the value of cancer research to improving public health and saving lives.
Policies related to cancer and cancer-related biomedical research are developed, implemented, and monitored by the Senior Science Policy Analyst under the direction of the Senior Director. Such policies, whether they are position statements of the AACR, initiatives to increase appropriations for cancer research, or educational efforts targeting individuals about important pending legislation, when these are successfully promoted by the AACR and brought to fruition, assist the members of the AACR and other members of the cancer community to accelerate progress against cancer.
The Senior Science Policy Analyst functions as a representative of the AACR when making regular contacts with Congressional offices, survivor and patient advocacy organizations, and other relevant appropriate bodies. He/she develops effective initiatives that encourage members of the Congress and their staffs to consult the AACR and its expert members in important matters related to cancer and cancer research. Also, the Senior Science Policy Analyst helps to plan and oversee the activities of AACR members when they are engaged in public education activities on the Hill related to cancer and cancer-related biomedical research. Overall, he/she is responsible for executing the AACR's expanding policy agenda and strategic plan.
Major Duties and Responsibilities:
-Provide direction and support for the AACR's national legislative policy activities and priorities in terms of advice, needs assessment, plans for implementation and advocacy strategies, and execution of activities toward their successful completion by the AACR
-Coordinate the AACRâ•˙s strategic plan for legislative action and implement these legislative objectives relating to cancer research
-Monitor, analyze, and assess legislative developments
- Prepare position papers, issue briefs, Congressional testimonies,
policy statements, and other documents as needed
-Keep abreast of the scientific programs of the AACR and consider policy implications where appropriate
-Contribute to a policy newsletter and/or other policy-related materials to inform AACR members, cancer organizations, targeted individuals, and other groups as appropriate
-Develop and maintain good working relationships with the policy staffs of other cancer organizations and cancer alliances
-Be proactive in identifying policy areas of importance and conduct policy analysis and development in relation to these issues

- Ability to effectively communicate the progress that has been made in cancer research to government officials along with the future needs of the cancer field
