The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Department of Med - Preventive Medicine, is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator II. This position is located in Dothan, Alabama.
The Clinical Research Coordinator II will work with the All of Us Project. All of Us is a nationwide research program administered by the National Institutes of Health to advance individualized prevention, treatment, and care for people of all backgrounds. At UAB, All of Us is a large, multi-site project in collaboration with the Department of Genetics, the Division of Preventive Medicine, and the School of Medicine. Dr. Vickers has requested the Division of Preventive Medicine to manage recruitment and specimen collection for the All of Us project. This is a $60 million, five-year project. The All of Us Research Program aims to enable discoveries that will improve overall health by encouraging the public to take an active role in steering the future of health research. The national All of Us recruitment goal is 1 million people. Alabamians age 19 or older, regardless of health status, are eligible to enroll in the program. Participants are asked to share different types of health and lifestyle information, including through online surveys and electronic health records (EHRs), which will continue to be collected over the course of the program. At different times over the coming months and years, some participants will be asked to visit a local partner site to provide blood and urine samples and to have basic physical measurements taken, such as height and weight. To ensure that the program gathers information from all types of people, especially those who have been underrepresented in research, not everyone will be asked to give physical measurements and samples. This position's primary responsibilities will include daily management of staff, engaging with community partners to share the program and secure event locations, and coordinating logistics of the local recruitment clinic.
