Job Description

Research Data Coordinator II

Job Summary

The Research Data Coordinator II (RDC II) is a fully proficient, autonomous role responsible for the comprehensive review and synthesis of information from various medical records. This includes, but is not limited to, clinic notes, pathology reports, radiology reports, and patient questionnaires.

The primary objective is to accurately extract data for industry, cooperative, and investigator-initiated trials, strictly adhering to the specifications of assigned research protocols. This position manages protocol-specific data requirements for multiple research projects concurrently, ensuring all data practices comply with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Federal regulations.

The RDC II routinely handles complex tasks, independently determining optimal methods and procedures for data requirements, query resolution, and efficient data capture. Collaboration with study coordinators and monitors is a key aspect of the role, ensuring alignment with protocol specifics.

This position supports a higher patient volume and/or manages trials of greater complexity compared to lower-level research data coordinators. The workload is inherently more complex and comprehensive, and the RDC II assists less experienced team members. Opportunities for career growth within the Research Data Coordinator path are available.
