Robyn Strachan has served as the Budget Officer/Chief of the Financial Management Branch (FMB) for NIAMS since 1994. She is responsible for overseeing and managing the work of the FMB specialists, who develop the Institute’s financial plans and ways to monitor and report what the Institute spends and how FTEs (full-time equivalent positions) are used.

This involves tracking and projecting commitments for extramural grant and contract awards, as well as salaries, operating costs, and position usage.

She entered the budget field in the mid-1980s following positions as both an extramural and intramural Administrative Officer. She also worked as a writer and editor and editorial assistant.
