About the Position

The Research Coordinator I oversees and administers research study and associated activities. Assists in project planning, and ensures that pre-established work scope, study protocol and regulatory requirements are followed. May recruit and coordinate research subjects, as appropriate, and serves as principle administration liaison for the project. Oversees and coordinates the provision of administrative and staff services to investigators; develops and maintains record keeping systems and procedures. About the Project This position will support multiple research projects under the MIRROR program. Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation Research for Operational Readiness (MIRROR) delivers high value research, education, training, and infrastructure for over 40 clinically relevant musculoskeletal injury (MSI) studies within the military health system (MHS). MIRROR supports a broad scope of projects, including epidemiological investigation, investigator initiated pilots, and prospective randomized multisite clinical trials. Areas of clinical evaluation comprise general MSI care process models and highly prevalent anatomically-specific (e.g. back, knee, shoulder pain, etc.) targeted interventions with protocols examining effective return-to-duty activities. These studies particularly focus on deployment-limiting MSIs, ensuring that research addresses the challenges faced by service members in maintaining operational readiness. Results of these studies generate evidence-based approaches for future clinical practice guidelines as well as educational opportunities for future military and civilian providers at WRNMMC and USU.
