Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator

The Childhood Research Obesity Prevention (CROP) research program under the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (Pediatric GI) within Stanford University is seeking an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator to perform administrative support duties related to the collection of clinical data and/or the coordination of clinical studies. These duties include coordinating communication with research participants, assisting with recruitment and data collection, and maintaining study documents. The Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator will work under supervision of the principal investigator, the project manager, and clinical research associate.

The CROP research program’s goal is to advance child health equity. To achieve this goal, the program seeks to translate clinical, community, and epidemiologic research findings into innovative population-level interventions during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood to prevent and treat childhood obesity and chronic diseases particularly among health disparity populations. The culture of the program is one that values growth, teamwork, and inclusion. Current research projects are funded by NIH, PCORI, and Foundations amounting to over $20M total costs between 2024-2030 in addition to endowed program funding. These include the Food FARMacia randomized trial of an infant food security intervention; the LINC mixed methods study of social risk factors, navigation, and neighborhoods; and the PCORI-funded CHIME (Comparing Health Interventions for Maternal Equity) program. The CHIME program focused on maternal- infant health equity through a comparative effectiveness research study, broader partnership network, partner learning network, and research mentorship program.

The CROP Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator will have experience working in a research setting and adhering to research protocols for the CHIME study. We are looking for someone who can collaborate with team members and other researchers, who can manage multiple tasks and timelines, and has proficiency in Spanish verbal communication at a fluent or native level to assist with communication with non-English speakers.

The Department of Pediatrics is a dynamic, stimulating place to work and because we are focused on growth and improved excellence, our staff have particularly challenging and rewarding roles.

Duties include:

·       Schedule and/or call subjects for appointments; contact participants with reminders or other requirements for participation in maternal and infant health studies.

·       Prepare, distribute, and process questionnaires.

·       Perform clerical duties in the preparation of regulatory documents. Maintain all forms and documents, including consent forms and master subject logs. File all appropriate correspondence.

·       Assist with the screening, recruiting, and obtaining consent of study participants. Review medical records and/or perform telephone or in-person interviews to gather data, as needed.

·       Administer standard study questionnaires and tests, score test measurements and questionnaires, and code data for computer entry. Perform quantitative review of forms, tests, and other measurements for completeness and accuracy.

·       Extract data from source documents for research studies as directed. Collect data and complete case report forms.

·       Prepare, process, and ship specimens/samples accurately under well-defined requirements.

·       Order and maintain equipment and supplies.

·       Process study compensation payments and thank you letters to subjects upon completion of trial activities. Assist with post-study activities, as needed.
