These projects are led by Dr. Julien Teitler.

The Staff Associate II will have primary responsibility for implementing and coordinating survey fieldwork and biosample collection. The incumbent will monitor field progress, identify barriers to study participation, and work with study investigators to improve response rates.

Utilizing considerable discretion and knowledge of biospecimen recruitment, the incumbent will obtain informed consent from participants for the collection of samples and coordinate logistics related to biosample kit shipments and return. The incumbent will maintain accurate tracking systems of participant follow-ups using REDCap software.

  • Monitor and identify solutions to improve response and retention rates (10%)

The incumbent will provide regular reports on case disposition and survey and biosample completion, overall and by location and demographic categories. Drawing on knowledge of survey methodology, the incumbent will develop solutions to improve case retention rates.

  • Ensure compliance with human subjects’ protection regulations (5%)

The incumbent will ensure that all project activities are conducted in compliance with IRB human subject protection regulations. The incumbent will communicate with the study team and IRB staff to resolve any complex IRB issues.

  • Document the survey data collection and the resulting dataset (5%)

In collaboration with study investigators, the incumbent will describe the methodology used in data collection, document survey outcomes and final response rates, and define variables and response categories in the resulting dataset. Using data derived from Voxco and REDCap, format fieldwork records and contact information for archiving at the main FFCWS project office.
