The Government Performance Portfolio within Program
Government performance, one of the five program portfolios at The Pew Charitable Trusts, identifies and advances effective approaches to improve policy at all levels of government. The portfolio’s project teams conduct research on emerging topics, develop data-driven reports, and highlight innovative approaches in addressing complex problems. Initiatives currently focus on three key areas for federal, state, and local governments: (1) health and human services; (2) management and budget; and (3) safety and justice.
GP utilizes the basic tools required to explore and advance effective policy solutions at the federal, state, and local levels. These solutions include credible, timely, and user-friendly research; assessments of public support for change; strategic outreach and dissemination to ensure that good information is widely communicated to decision-makers, media, influential stakeholders, and the public; the capacity to bring together diverse perspectives and find common ground; and the ability to identify and apply approaches that have proven successful elsewhere.
The GP portfolio is led by the vice president and head of government performance, with support from a vice president and senior directors who provide oversight over select projects and functions within the portfolio.
Health Information Technology
The health information technology project (HIT) seeks to improve the quality of health care in the United States by addressing issues related to the safety of HIT and the interoperability of health data. In particular, the project will:
- Conduct research and advance federal policies to improve the safe use of electronic health records (EHRs);
- Support government and private-sector solutions to more accurately match patients with their health records across health care systems, particularly through the standardization of demographic data and use of biometrics; and
- Advocate for policies to improve the effective extraction of health data from EHRs via application programming interfaces (APIs).
Position Overview
The officer, health information technology focuses on the project’s work related to patient matching, which is the ability to link medical records for individuals that receive care in different health care facilities. The position is responsible for drafting fact sheets, issue briefs, web articles, and reports outlining current challenges with patient matching, the effect of poor matching on patient outcomes, and solutions identified by Pew to improve patient matching. The officer, working with government relations and project leadership, conducts advocacy to encourage the federal government to adopt standards for demographic data—such as address—to improve patient matching. Specifically, the position builds coalitions, monitors research projects, and drafts letters in response to policy proposals to advance enhanced use of demographic data for matching. Finally, the officer manages research on the use of biometrics in health care, specifically by overseeing contractors and planning meetings with experts. After concluding biometrics research, the officer will draft a report on the technical, privacy, workflow, and policy considerations—among factors—to improve patient matching through the use of biometrics.
While knowledge of health care policy is preferred, the officer is not expected to have subject matter expertise on health information technology or biometrics. The position involves significant writing, especially to communicate complex topics to educated lay readers. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

The Philadelphia Program
Through the Philadelphia Program Pew seeks to enhance civic life in its hometown. We partner with many local institutions in encouraging a thriving arts and cultural community, supporting the health and welfare of the region’s most vulnerable residents, informing discussion on important issues facing the city, and, more broadly, strengthening Philadelphia’s appeal to visitors and residents alike.
Philadelphia Research Initiative
The Philadelphia research initiative produces timely, well-documented and highly readable reports and issue briefs on issues facing Philadelphia for the benefit of decision makers, the news media and the public at large. Topics come from a number of subject areas including demographic trends, government performance and innovation, tax and fiscal policy, K-12 education, economic development and job creation, and public safety. In addition, the initiative performs research in conjunction with the Philadelphia Policy Exchange, designed to stimulate focused conversations among policymakers and policy influencers on a range of issues. Those issues include, but are not limited to, evaluating tax incentives, improving tax collections, managing revenue volatility through rainy day funds, strengthening public sector retirement systems, delivering cost-effective corrections services, and reducing opioid abuse.
The initiative's staff conducts research using a range of methodologies, including representative-sample polling, and looks beyond the city for relevant information from comparable cities. The research typically is based on public or proprietary data, peer-reviewed research methodologies, close consultation with subject-matter experts, and regular interaction with officials of local governments and organizations. Most of its reports lay out the facts and findings on a given issue. Some go further to discuss the data-based pros and cons of various policy options. In either case, however, the initiative does not advocate for specific solutions or favor any particular point of view. Its mission is to be an honest broker on the issues and effective contributor to civic discourse in Philadelphia and, where applicable, other cities. The goal is to be a consistent and effective contributor to civic discourse in Philadelphia. Examples of the initiative's work are available at www.pewtrusts.org/philaresearch.
The initiative's work products consist of the following:
- Major research reports that get to the bottom of complex and important issues, often making use of data-based comparative examples from other cities.
- Research briefs on issues that require illumination or updating but not full-length reports.
- Shorter “web analyses” that provide updates on issues, especially those covered by previous reports or briefs, and highlight new, city-related data.
- An annual “State of the City" report that tracks key indicators about Philadelphia’s condition—from crime to employment to demographic change—over time and in relation to comparable cities.
- Random-sample polling to measure Philadelphians’ attitudes about the city in general, policy issues in particular, elected leaders, city services, and residents’ own situations.
- A monthly e-newsletter that reports on work that the project has published and intends to publish, developments related to past reports, and the work of other Pew programs.
- Public presentation of research findings to civic groups, other research organizations, and governmental bodies or officials, including City Council.
The initiative’s work products are produced primarily by staff members working collegially and effectively within the team and across the larger Pew organization, as needed. When specialized expertise is required, the initiative hires external consultants but continues to manage the product.
In addition, working with the Philadelphia Policy Exchange, staff help organize convenings to highlight the initiative’s work and engage the public and policymakers in conversation about issues and policy options.
Position Overview
The senior associate, who is based in Pew’s Philadelphia office, reports to the manager, Philadelphia research initiative. The senior associate’s job is to help conceptualize, design and complete research and analysis on key issues affecting the city of Philadelphia. A research background, relevant experience, expertise in one of the initiative’s key subjects, and/or strong writing skills are desirable.
The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in engaging the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems.
Conserving Marine Life in the United States
Pew's conserving marine life in the United States program focuses on protecting essential habitats found in coastal waters like oyster reefs, seagrass meadows, kelp forests, and salt marsh that provide nursery areas, food and refuge for a diversity of marine wildlife. This work includes working with communities and partners to advance management measures at the state and federal levels that conserve and restore economically and ecologically valuable coastal habitats. Additionally, the program promotes an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management that takes into account the interdependent nature of ocean life.

Project Overview
Pew aims to restore transparency, fairness and responsibility to the markets for common consumer financial products, including transaction accounts and small-dollar loans. Our work establishes durable reforms of the marketplace by defending policy gains made; ensuring protections against harmful, short-term balloon payment loans; making affordable small-dollar installment loans more widely available by encouraging additional large banks and credit unions to enter the market; extending successful state models for reforming state payday and installment loan laws to other states; and strengthening the capacity of nongovernmental organizations and regulators to maintain these gains.
The project conducts policy-relevant research and builds partnerships with industry and advocates for policies that reduce consumer risks, fosters a consistent regulatory framework for financial institutions, and improves market competitiveness. The initiative educates the public and policy makers by analyzing current practices and consumer disclosures and uncovering hidden costs associated with these products and services.
