Research Services Senior Clinical Science Professional (Senior Project Coordinator)

University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

Department: Emergency Medicine

Job Summary:

This Senior Clinical Science Professional will support both the Patient-Centered Injury Prevention research group, led by Dr. Emmy Betz, and the Research Advancing Practice through Implementation and Dissemination Science (RAPIDS) program, led by Dr. Bethany Kwan. In the Betz lab, the current primary project this position will support is the "Pause to Protect" program. This Department of Defense (DOD)-funded program engages a network of firearm businesses near ten military installations and provides the businesses with resources and technical assistance in promoting secure firearm storage among their customers. Related projects this position may support relate to messaging, initiatives, and creative approaches to prevention of firearm injury and violence, including suicide, family violence, and unintentional shootings. Broadly, the work includes community-engaged research with quantitative measures and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders. Past and current work has engaged firearm owners and retailers, military personnel, individuals with suicide risk, family members, community groups, and individuals with lived experience. This position serves as lead study coordinator. The work includes preparatory activities such as IRB and protocol preparation and submission (locally and to DOD Office of Human Research Protections, as well as coordinating with partners to set up reliance agreements); Manual of Operating Procedures development and monitoring; directing the activities of other staff members working on the studies; communicating with various stakeholders about project status; strategic planning to overcome unexpected barriers; preparing sponsor reports; communicating with the sponsor; and other study-related tasks. The position may also involve assisting with general project needs, such as REDCap database development, meeting scheduling, obtaining informed consent, designing or adapting online tools, and other duties as determined by Dr. Betz and the Research Program Manager. In the RAPIDs program, this position will serve as program coordinator, supporting grant and manuscript writing, IRB processes, and project management for this new infrastructure program, which will leverage data, informatics, and multidisciplinary team science to enhance healthcare quality via iterative cycles of research and evaluation. As program coordinator, this position will help establish program infrastructure, including coordinating program meetings with RAPIDS-affiliated faculty, coordinating data collection and management and supporting IRB submissions for preliminary data, identifying program workflow and process improvement opportunities, and supporting grant submissions and publications. The position will eventually include acting as a study coordinator on at least one RAPIDS-affiliated project.

This role is eligible for a hybrid schedule of 3 days per week on campus and as needed for in-person meetings.

The work includes community-engaged research with quantitative measures and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders. Past and current work has engaged firearm owners and retailers, military personnel, individuals with suicide risk, family members, community groups, and individuals with lived experience.

The ideal candidate will have experience in serving as the lead project coordinator, particularly for projects funded by the DOD or conducted with military populations; experience leading teams of research staff; experience with human subjects' protections; productivity in working remotely; experience developing and implementing new infrastructure and processes and using structured process improvement methods; and experience developing and submitting institutional review board protocols for community-based studies.
