The Associate Director of Major Gifts, Health Sciences and Technology (HST), and Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC (FBRI, located in Roanoke, VA) will solicit philanthropic gifts from alumni, families, friends, and supporters that align with the Institute’s fundraising goals and overall university health sciences strategic priorities. This highly motivated professional will be involved with the planning and implementation of major gift fundraising in support of current operations, endowment, capital, and other priorities from private sources in support of operations and growth for HST and FBRI. Identification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of potential prospects will be the primary focus of this role, requiring travel around the region and nationally. This position will fulfill the duties under the direction of the Executive Director of Development for Health Sciences Technology & Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. In 2007, Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech joined together to create a unique public-private partnership that was aimed at transforming health care through research and educating the biomedical researchers and physician thought-leaders of tomorrow. The Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine allows both organizations to leverage their strengths—Virginia Tech’s sciences, computational and engineering expertise, and Carilion’s clinical expertise—to improve the health and lives of individuals in the Commonwealth and beyond. FBRI, founded in 2010, is led by Dr. Michael Friedlander, Executive Director of the FBRI, who also serves as VT's Vice President for Health Sciences and Technology. The research institute’s active extramural funding portfolio has grown to its current value of $241M over the first 15 years. Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke offers a vibrant and affordable lifestyle with easy access to outdoor recreation, cultural amenities, and a growing innovation ecosystem. The city’s proximity to Virginia Tech’s main campus and its role as a regional hub for health sciences make it an ideal setting for advancing the mission of FBRI. This position is key to the presidential university initiative to deliver innovative solutions that address health challenges affecting millions through advanced research and development programs across VT’s Blacksburg, Roanoke, and greater Washington, D.C. metro area facilities, including the Children’s National Research & Innovation Campus in Washington, DC.
