NORC is seeking a Program Manager (PM) for an anticipated USAID cooperative agreement, Promoting Impact and Learning with Cost-Effectiveness Evidence (PILCEE). The cooperative agreement aims to fund impact evaluations and cost analyses and integrate existing evidence from these high-quality studies into USAID activity designs. This activity will provide a platform for engaging academics from the social and behavioral sciences to strengthen USAID's current and future programming by understanding the causal impact per dollar of its programs and producing contributions to the global evidence base that can improve policy and programming of other development partners.

The PM position is preferably based in the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) area, with the possibility of hybrid or remote working arrangements. This position is contingent on USAID contract award to NORC.
