各國政府單位在遭逢重大災害時通常會成立「緊急應變小組」 (Emergency Response Team) 或「專案小組/任務小組/對策任務」(Task Force)。
美國白宮在2020年元月底成立 White House Coronavirus Task Force(白宮冠狀病毒任務小組),2月26日任命副總統 Mike Pence 為主席 (Chair of White House Coronavirus Task Force),無任所大使 (Ambassador-at-Large) Deborah Birx 為召集人 (Response coordinator for White House Coronavirus Task Force),小組的重要成員還包括國家過敏與傳染病研究院院長 (Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Anthony Fauci。
奇怪的是,有國內媒體把 Coordinator(召集人)譯成「*協調員」,把 Director(院長)譯為「*主任」。

Coordinator 在 Cambridge Dictionary 中的定義是:
Someone whose job is to make different groups work together in an organized way to achieve something.
負責讓不同群組協力合作以達成任務的人。

請參考例句如下:
The president has just appointed a coordinator who will oversee the whole project.
總統剛任命一位召集人,負責監督整個計畫。
Director 在 Merriam-Webster 詞典中的定義則是:
The head or chief of an organized occupational group (such as a bureau, foundation, institute, or school.)
組織機構(如局、處、基金會、研究院等)的首長。
我們會把「某某專案小組」的召集人稱為「協調員」,「某某研究院」的首長稱為「*主任」嗎?
機構的首長 (director) 通常可依該機構名稱來譯其職銜,如果是「局/院/處/館」,就譯為「局長/院長/處長/館長」,如:Director of the Central Intelligence Agency(中央情報局局長);Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation(聯邦調查局長)等。
所以,國家過敏與傳染病研究院 (NIAID) 的首長,當然應該稱院長。
