Position Overview

This position provides critical support for federal-regulation-mandated documentation and quality control/assurance necessary to operate and maintain NIH's Aseptic Processing Facilities (APFs) and Biosafety Level (BSL) containment facilities. The Regulatory Document Coordinator and Training Manager will manage the full lifecycle of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WIs), and Training Modules for DFOM's APF and BSL operations — from initial drafting through periodic review, revision, approval routing, controlled distribution, and eventual retirement or archival. The role maintains detailed version control, authorship, revision history, and approval-status records within NIH's document control system, and monitors document expiration timelines to proactively trigger review or archival.

The position also coordinates cross-functional document reviews with relevant subject matter experts to verify content accuracy and alignment with DFOM policy and applicable regulatory and industry standards, and oversees controlled distribution so that only current, approved document versions remain accessible. In addition, the Coordinator tracks and manages personnel training status in direct linkage with the document control system — linking training modules to their supporting SOPs/WIs, monitoring completion against required timeframes, maintaining auditable training records, generating compliance reports, and supporting internal and external audits with documentation of employee qualifications and training adherence.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
