The Vice President of Scientific Programs is a senior executive and organizational thought leader responsible for guiding Solve M.E.’s research strategy, funding decisions, and scientific partnerships. This role directly shapes Solve’s impact in the research ecosystem by overseeing strategic grantmaking, developing high-value collaborations, and networking as a prominent representative to academic, corporate, and public stakeholders. Individuals with lived experience or a personal connection are especially encouraged to apply.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this position sets the vision for Solve’s research investments and spearheads efforts to expand and strengthen our national and international network of scientific partners and funders. The VP is responsible for high-level decision-making related to the Ramsay and Catalyst Awards, overseeing the full grantmaking cycle and the work of external scientific contractors and reviewers. The role will work closely with the communications, advocacy, and development teams to ensure alignment across mission priorities, donor engagement, and public messaging.
The World ME Alliance unites organizations across the globe to drive change for the millions living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) — one of the most overlooked and marginalized conditions in global health.
This is an opportunity to work with extraordinary people and organizations worldwide — from patient advocates to international health leaders — to amplify the collective voice of those living with ME and influence global policy.
We’re seeking a Head of Advocacy and Communications to lead and deliver our global advocacy, policy, and communications work. It’s a hands-on and strategic role, shaping international campaigns like World ME Day, producing compelling content and graphics, and building meaningful collaboration across cultures.
If you’re a strategic thinker who loves rolling up your sleeves — creating compelling content, leading campaigns, and turning ideas into action — this is your chance to make a global impact.
As many patients know, there are remarkably few resources available for patients with ME/CFS and our files need an update. Solve is seeking to create additional region-based resource summaries for patients to make available on our website. Each regional resource page will include a variety of sources that may prove helpful to patients including medical services, doctors, disability assistance groups, chronic illness support groups, in-home support services and more. We’d like to see these guides be everything a newly diagnosed patient needs to help them find the best care and support possible on their journey with ME/CFS.
