Job Description Summary:
The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) has established the All of Us Research Program-Heartland Consortium (AoURP-HC) in concert with the University of Kansas Health System and select universities and healthcare systems and clinics in Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska. The mission of the All of Us Research Program (AoURP) is to advance the science of precision medicine and ensure everyone shares in its benefits. The operational overall objective of the program (http://joinallofus.org) is to build a robust research resource that can facilitate the exploration of biological, clinical, social, and environmental determinants of health and disease. The research program will collect and curate health-related data and biospecimens from one million or more individuals who reflect the diversity in the United States. It is a deliberately inclusive strategy that prioritizes groups historically underrepresented in biomedical research (UBR). The AoURP is an observational study that aims to actively engage participants and their advocates in all aspects of the research program, including governance, oversight, design, conduct, dissemination, and evaluation. Participants will not only provide their biological, health, behavioral, and environmental data, and they will also be able to access their information, learn about the research being conducted, and be partners in the discovery process. This ongoing partnership between the research program and participants is critical to the program's success.
The Clinical Research Supervisor is critical to the Consortium’s program success. This position will be a member of a larger team that will actively engage in the annual enrollment of approximately 1,500 diverse participants who are often underrepresented in biomedical research.
This position will be responsible for managing a team of research professionals who participate in clinical research work which includes the collection, compilation, documentation, and analysis of clinical research data. Supervisor duties include assigning employees duties, work locations, setting goals, and assessing performance. Directly supervises a minimum of two employees.
The Clinical Research Supervisor also manages the processes involved in the research study. This includes a variety of complex activities involved in the collection, compilation, documentation, and analysis of clinical research data. Participates in periodic quality assurance audits of protocols. Supports the development of study budgets, contracts, and grant applications.
