Working at the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, under the direction of Principal Investigators (PIs), Drs. Paul Appelbaum and Nancy Green, the Clinical Research Coordinator III (CRC III) will manage day-to-day research and administrative activities for a clinical and translational science research study to design a system to return individual results to research participants. This role provides the opportunity to develop skills in qualitative and quantitative research, user-centered design, and community engagement.

Although many research studies generate results from tests on individual participants, currently those results are not routinely returned to research participants. This research aims to understand stakeholder perspectives on returning individual research results and to use those findings to collaboratively design, test, and adapt an innovative system to support the return of results to research participants.

The CRC III will work independently under the direction of the two PIs to coordinate study operations. Responsibilities include general project coordination; participant recruitment, screening, and scheduling; scheduling team meetings; data collection, documentation, and management; ensuring adherence to study activities as described in the protocol; and Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions and reporting. The CRC III will also support effective communication across study team members and partners.

This role provides the opportunity to develop skills in qualitative research, user-centered design, and community engagement.

The Irving Institute is home to Columbia University’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), launched by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2006 and expanded to over sixty academic medical centers across the United States.
