The CRC's duties may include, but will not be limited to supporting the management and coordinating the tasks of single or multiple clinical research studies, depending on their size and complexity; act as intermediary between services and departments while overseeing data and specimen management; manage and report on study results; create, clean, update, and manage databases and comprehensive datasets and reports; coordinate staff work schedules, assist with training of Assistant CRCs, and assist Clinical Research Supervisor and / or PI with oversight of other research staff; manage Investigator's protocols in the Committee on Human Research (CHR) online system, as well as renewals and modifications of protocol applications and the implementation of new studies; participate in the review and writing of protocols to ensure institutional review board approval within University compliance; help assure compliance with all relevant regulatory agencies; oversee study data integrity; implement and maintain periodic quality control procedures; interface with departments to obtain UCSF approval prior to study initiation; maintain all regulatory documents; report study progress to investigators; and participate in any internal and external audits or reviews of study protocols.
This position is intended to support the Principal Investigator (PI) in a clinic-based research program that focuses on improving care and treatment for underserved people living with HIV (PLWH). The site of the research is Ward 86 at San Francisco General Hospital, one of the oldest and largest HIV clinics in the country, and the safety-net HIV clinic for the city and county of San Francisco. The primary responsibility of the CRC will be conducting chart reviews to abstract clinical data on HIV care received and diagnoses and assist with resolving discrepancies or gather more information from the electronic medical record. This position involves the evaluation of physician documentation, utilizing clinical expertise to ensure the accuracy of abstracted data.
The CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS), is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) -funded cohort of clinic cohorts consisting of ten academic HIV clinics across the United States that draws on electronic medical record data, patient reported outcomes, and specimens. The Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) component of CNICS involves a health assessment administered to clinic patients approximately every four months and contains information that the medical record often does not capture in a format conducive to evaluation and research, such as adherence to antiretroviral medication, sexual risk behavior, substance use, and mental health screening. The PROs survey is considered part of routine clinical care; deidentified data is transferred to the CNICS Data Coordinating Center for research purposes.
This is a 100% limited role for 1 year from date of hire.
