Clinical Research Coordinator - Early Detection and Interception
Building upon Dana-Farber’s deep experience in early cancer detection and treatment, we’ve created a robust, integrated clinical/research program -- Centers for Early Detection and Interception. This program brings together Dana-Farber’s expert clinicians and researchers across all cancer types, working together in a unified, multi-disciplinary effort that will accelerate progress in early cancer detection and interception. Through this effort, we will help stop cancer earlier, saving more lives, and improving the quality of life for all of those affected by cancer. The Clinical Research Coordinator II (CRC II) will be an integral part of the clinical research program and lead recruitment as we expand into the Boston-area community. Our goal is to increase access to research for patients who traditionally do not have access to clinical trials. This role will support the research team in the execution of clinical trials in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and will operate under guidance of the Principal Investigator(s), the DFCI Clinical Trials Office, and the Clinical Research Director. The CRC II will be responsible for recruiting, screening for protocol eligibility, and obtaining consent from patients for industry-sponsored and biobanking studies. In this way, the CRC II will be responsible for collecting, compiling, and managing patient clinical information. The CRC II will ensure prompt collection and shipment of protocol-related samples to external entities as necessary.
