Job Description

Unit/Program description

The Program in Evidence-based Care (PEBC) is a province-wide strategic initiative of Cancer Care Ontario (CCO). The PEBC was designed with the explicit mandate to: (i) create a culture of respect for knowledge and knowledge sharing that informs practice and improves the cancer care system and, (ii) develop original research related to knowledge exchange.

The primary role of the research coordinator is to develop evidence-based resources (including clinical practice guidelines, organizational guidelines and other evidence-based guidance documents) that are used by practitioners, policy makers and other stakeholders in the Ontario health care system and are intended to promote evidence-based cancer care and to improve outcomes for cancer patients. Working in collaboration with a panel of content experts called a guideline development group (GDG), the research coordinator uses her/his methodological expertise and project management skills to support the guideline development process.

The core methodology used by the PEBC is systematic review. Guidance documents, including the recommendations and a summary of the evidence, are developed by the GDG members on the basis of the available research evidence and their expert opinion, and are subsequently reviewed by methodological, clinical and policy experts in Ontario prior to publication.

As a member of the GDG, the research coordinator provides methodological expertise, facilitates the development process, writes and coordinates the work of other authors and is responsible for managing a portfolio of guidance development projects. She/he is directly supervised by the Assistant Directors and is supported by the administrative and management staff of the PEBC. The PEBC fosters a participatory culture in which clinicians, health planners, and policy makers are aware of, receptive to, and skilled in the interpretation and appropriate application of synthesized research evidence.
