• Coordinate and manage study visits, including preparing patients, supplies, equipment, and documentation.
• Manage active trial participants and ensure all study-related activities are completed in accordance with protocols, SOPs, and regulatory requirements.
• Complete and maintain accurate electronic data capture (EDC), source documentation, charting, and query resolution.
• Create and maintain source documents and other study-specific materials.
• Communicate regularly with study sponsors, CROs, providers, and other research partners.
• Prepare and submit IRB materials and maintain regulatory documentation.
• Provide weekly research updates to providers, including study activity, recruitment progress, upcoming visits, and other relevant updates.
• Maintain study equipment and ensure required equipment is appropriately calibrated and documented.
• Maintain an organized, compliant research laboratory and ensure adequate supplies are available for study activities.
• Perform phlebotomy and other clinical research procedures as required by study protocols.
• Support overall site operations and independently prioritize competing study and administrative responsibilities.
• Ensure all study activities are conducted in compliance with applicable regulations, protocols, and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards.

• Experience with patient recruitment, eligibility screening, informed consent, and study visit coordination.
• Experience with EDC systems, source documentation, charting, and query resolution.
• Ability to create and maintain accurate source documentation.
• Experience with IRB submissions and regulatory activities.
• Ability to communicate effectively with sponsors, CROs, providers, patients, and other study stakeholders.
