Throughout its 75-year history, the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) has administered numerous externally-funded projects serving children and families. The Butler Institute for Families (Butler), established in 1994, is affiliated with GSSW and is nationally recognized for our leadership and collaborative work at the national, state, and local level in evaluation, research, and technical assistance aimed at improving the quality of child-, youth-, and family-serving systems.
We bring together researchers, practitioners, public and private service system experts, and community members to: engage in program evaluation and research; examine outcomes; and provide technical assistance and training to program administrators, direct service providers, and community leaders. Currently, Butler conducts business in four primary content areas: child welfare, early childhood systems, tribal child welfare, and behavioral health. These content areas operate within a Research-to-Practice framework that promotes the use, adoption, adaptation, replication, and scaling of research and/or evaluation knowledge, and the integration of this knowledge in practice. In addition to the benefits offered by the University of Denver (see here for more details: https://www.du.edu/jobs/), Butler offers the opportunity to work with a dedicated group of people committed to using research and evaluation to inform practice and practice to inform research and evaluation. We also offer professional development and job growth opportunities, flexible schedules, and the opportunity to work remotely. Butler stands in solidarity against the systemic oppression of persons of color and American Indian/Alaska Native tribes, communities, and individuals. Butler intentionally partners with family and child serving agencies to create healing, positive systemic change and daily inclusive actions that reflect racial equity.
Position Summary
This position will primarily support the National Child Welfare Capacity Building Center for Tribes project (Center for Tribes), as well as future projects working with tribal and urban American Indian communities. The Center for Tribes is a multi-year, multi-partner, multi-million-dollar cooperative grant administered by the Butler Institute. More information about the National Child Welfare Capacity Building Center for Tribes can be found here: https://capacity.childwelfare.gov/tribes.
The Tribal Project Manager has significant grants and project management experience with Federal and state-funded initiatives, especially those involving tribal nations and/or communities of color. This position requires experience in providing general administrative and accounting/budgetary support, knowledge of federal grant submission databases, grant reporting requirements, and contract and sub-recipient management. The Tribal Project manager provides general administrative support to the Center for Tribes PI, co-PIs, and Director, and Butler Leadership, and provides logistical support and task management, as requested, for Center for Tribes service delivery, trainings, meetings, conferences, and other activities. The ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing, with funders and a variety of project stakeholders is essential. So, too, is the ability to develop and manage electronic tools that facilitate communication across a range of geographically dispersed stakeholders. This position may manage the grant-writing and proposal submission, renewal, and carryforward processes for the Center for Tribes and other grants, including coordinating with stakeholders, informing the budget, drafting proposal narrative, and compiling the final proposal for submission.
This is a grant-funded position, and while Butler often has new projects that can replace a project that ends, Butler cannot guarantee positions after the end of grant funding.
