Strong organizational skills, communication (oral and written) skills, analytical ability, and dependability are a must. The Health Division is committed to creating a multicultural and supportive work environment and strongly encourages applications from candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the Division. 

The Program Specialist posting is now available on USAJobs via the following link: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/480589900. 

Applicants will need to submit a formatted USAJobs resume and respond to a short questionnaire. Note, the posting will remain open for a limited time or until 100 applications are received, whichever comes sooner. Previous postings have closed as quickly as one day, so we highly encourage qualified and interested candidates to apply as early as possible.

OMB serves the President of the United States in developing a Budget and legislative program, in overseeing execution of enacted legislation, and in implementing the Administration’s vision across the Executive Branch. The Health Division is responsible for the review of policy, budget, legislative, and management issues related to Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurance market reforms, and a variety of public health and health research programs that are mainly operated under the Department of Health and Human Services.  The Health Division currently manages more than one-fourth of the Federal budget and engages in analysis, planning, and policy formulation to improve programmatic quality, efficiency, and financial management.  Please see the attached document for further information on OMB and the Health Division.

On 5 October 2017 from 1 – 2:30pm the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) will organize a conference at The Hill Center, John Philips Sousa Hall, D.C entitled, “Scales of Injustice: The Geopolitics of Business, State- Sponsored Extremism, and the Absence of Democracy in Balochistan”. This event focuses on the impact of a mega infrastructure project being initiated by China and Pakistan that also impacts regions of Iran, too.

Specifically, the conference seeks to provide US researchers, policy makers, and the interested public with a survey of the non-adherence to human rights norms in the Pakistani and Iranian parts of Balochistan, offering insights into the geopolitical and economic interests underlying this ongoing tragedy. It will focus particularly on the ruthless implementation of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) that has significantly worsened the human right violations perpetuated by Pakistani and Chinese security forces against the Baloch ethnic group. The conference will serve as a platform to bring together expertise of academics, civil society and representatives from Balochistan to discuss constructive and democratic approaches for the future of the region.

The Bahá’í Chair for World Peace Lecture

The Bahá’í Chair for World Peace Lecture Tuesday, September 26, 2017 3:00pm Perspectives on Refugees & Germany Since the Summer of 2015 Special Events Room, 6th Floor, McKeldin Library  University of Maryland, College Park

RSVP

Dr. Nicole Hirschfelder  Associate Professor for American Culture and Literature, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany  Abstract: Since 2015, several hundred thousand people have arrived in Germany to escape war, hunger, catastrophes, persecution, or poor-living conditions. In the summer of 2015, more than ten thousand refugees arrived in Germany on a single day, which soon led several politicians and media outlets to speak of a “refugee crisis.” This talk will explain the underlying, problematic implications of this term, address how Germany’s past informs attitudes towards the current situation, and why this frequently makes dialogue between opposing camps difficult. Introducing a variety of examples that illustrate the broad spectrum of realities and social relations, this presentation will strive to provide a nuanced impression of the complex situation in this central European country.
