The Clinical Research Coordinator 2 (CRC2) is responsible for managing and coordinating the ALL ALS studies, primarily in the disease states of neuromuscular disorders (ALS). Coordination and management of such studies is both dynamic and demanding, requiring refined technical, organizational, interpersonal, and coordination skills. The CRC2 learns the schedule of assessments for each trial, coordinates each visit, conducts the entire study visit for each patient, and ensures that protocol requirements are followed.

The CRC2 must maintain patient confidentiality, adhere to university clinical‑research standards, and coordinate with ancillary departments such as radiology and the Clinical Research Unit. The CRC2 will work on site five days per week for a new national natural‑history/biobanking study conducted at Georgetown University Hospital’s Department of Neurology main site and with remote patients.

The CRC2 coordinates visit schedules, conducts study visits, maintains protocol compliance, and ensures timely adverse‑event reporting. They serve as the main point of contact for patients, responding to inquiries within 24 hours, triaging clinical issues, and facilitating communication between the study PI, sub‑investigators, and patients. They send visit reminders, manage rescheduling, and maintain accurate data entry in the OnCore/CTMS system.
