Clinical Research Coordinator

About the role

The Clinical Research Coordinator provides assistance to the Principal Investigator and Study Team coordinating research activities that may include assistance with clinical patient outcomes collection, recruiting research participants, data collection and management, on-site regulatory assistance, and other research activities as assigned. The Clinical Research Coordinator may also assist with report generation and project close-out support. The position will support the Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation Research for Operational Readiness (MIRROR) Program. This program was established to support the execution of clinically relevant research to advance the care of service members with non-combat related musculoskeletal injury (MSI). Headquartered at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), MIRROR provides coordination and support of inter-service and inter-disciplinary partnerships across military treatment facilities (MTFs), military training centers (MTCs), and civilian academic centers to execute cutting-edge research in order to mitigate the burden of MSI on military readiness.

This role will specifically contribute to a research initiative titled "A Prospective Investigation of Conservative Care for Grade IV Femoral Neck Stress Fractures and “Flash Signs” in Military Trainees (MIRROR Project 67)." The goal of this project is to evaluate whether conservative management of Grade IV femoral neck stress fractures (50–75% involvement) improves military retention and reduces separation compared to surgical treatment, while also assessing the predictive value of the flash sign, the reliability of fracture grading between providers, and differences in cost, recovery timelines, and health outcomes across treatment approaches. This is an on-site position assigned to the Moncrief Army Health Clinic at Fort Jackson, SC. A thorough government background check will be required.
