GENERAL PURPOSE

The Human Subject Research Specialist II (HSRS II) will coordinate activities associated with all phases of human subject research (project start-up, execution, and closeout) for multiple projects. Under the supervision of the Senior Clinical Trials Project Manager (Sr CTPM), the HSRS II will coordinate quality improvement projects aimed at overcoming vaccination barriers and increasing immunization rates in medical practices, schools, and other community settings. Projects are typically run as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), in which a participating group of sites receives a specific intervention and is then compared to a control/standard-of-care group.

This position requires some weekly on-site work (Saunders Research Building and participating study sites) but allows for partial remote work within the Rochester area if desired. Reliable transportation is needed since the position may require travel to participating schools or medical practices within Monroe and surrounding counties.

+ Executes and monitors “training and intervention phase” study activities including the scheduling and/or tracking of online trainings and in-person or virtual meetings/workshops, survey dissemination, and subject payment.

+ Assists with the preparation for and execution of training workshop sessions.

+ Maintains and audits vaccine rate data as needed to ensure data integrity.

+ Completes “post-intervention” activities such as data organization for manuscripts.

+ Provides training to student research assistants as needed.

+ Actively contributes to weekly/monthly meetings with project Principal Investigator(s), lab manager, project consultants, and advisory board.

+ Clearly communicates progress/roadblocks related to study tasks and works both independently and with study team members to solve issues that may arise.
