Job description
Department
BSD OCR - Clinical Research Incubation
About the Department
The office’s mission is to catalyze clinical research by providing expertise, resources, infrastructure, and systems that facilitate clinical research operations and enable collaboration across the enterprise while promoting compliance and human subject protection.
To do this, the work of the OCR is supported by five service units: Human Subject Protection (IRB); Research Compliance; Clinical Research Operational Excellence; Clinical Research Incubation; and Clinical Trial Finance.
Job Summary
The Office of Clinical Research, through the Research Incubation Unit, provides research conduct, data management, and regulatory services to departments, sections, and units who are building their research portfolio or who need bridge support during a high growth period or during periods of staffing transitions. The OCR Research Incubation unit provides expertise, infrastructure, staff onboarding, staff training, project management, and staff management for research units in the growth and maintenance stages.

This position is housed within the Bridge Support Unit but will work directly with investigators in one or more clinical departments or specialties.
