Research Coordinators

Research Coordinators are an integral part of the research team and coordinate both Biomedical and Social Behavioral studies. Coordinators are responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the study and ensure that research is conducted in compliance with the study protocol as well as federal, state and institutional guidelines and regulations. To fulfill these responsibilities, research coordinators need support and resources. OPRS promotes efforts by developing education, and providing a forum to share available resources via a newsletter.
