TI Sr Clinical Research Assistaint

Overview

The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, known as one of the pioneers in personalized cancer medicine, is an international leader in research and cancer treatment.

Driven by its mission to end cancer as we know it, the institute is building upon its expertise in targeted treatments to advance the early detection of cancer when the disease is most treatable.

The mission of the Knight Clinical Research Management organization is to support the conduct of translational clinical research aimed at improving the lives of people and families with cancer by applying innovative strategies for cancer prevention, screening diagnosis and treatment.

The support is provided through proactive, high quality and efficient study management in compliance with federal regulations and local policies and procedures.

This fast-paced and highly intense research environment require management of complex clinical research studies involving a very vulnerable and sick population.

Community Hematology Oncology (CHO) is the community clinic program at Knight Cancer Institute. CHO runs medical oncology clinics at five locations around the Portland Metro Area, and CHO Research serves to expand research opportunities from the main campus to these community clinics.

This allows OHSU to offer research opportunities to patients in their communities without the need to travel to the main campus.

Frequent travel between these clinics and the main campus office is required. The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) is responsible for implementation and overall management of oncology clinical trials.

Under minimal supervision, coordinates complex therapeutic interventional clinical research protocols and data management.

Every Knight Cancer employee is expected to embody our guiding principles :

• We act BOLDLY Breakthroughs require pushing the boundaries of science, exploring new frontiers, and thinking differently.
• We SUPPORT each other Respect leads to trust, which leads to excellence.
• We work as a CONNECTED team We must leverage our collective brain power to conquer cancer because no one individual can do it alone.

Function / Duties of Position

These responsibilities include assisting regulatory staff and Clinical Research Manager with components of IRB submission, including preparation of consent forms and other documents required for IRB review and review of study feasibility.

On-study duties include the coordination of all aspects of a study as specifically outlined in the protocol. Primary focus will be subject safety and compliance with the prescribed protocol and Good Clinical Practice.

The CRC will work collaboratively with physicians, nursing, and ancillary staff in the scheduling and management of subject research activities.

The CRC will maintain accurate, complete, and timely records on all research subjects including preparation of source documentation and clinical research data / case report forms.

The CRC will assist manager and financial team as needed to ensure that patient billing is accurate for very complex oncology trials.

This requires the CRC to have a solid understanding of the study financial lifecycle and how their work contributes. The CRC will have direct patient contact, may collect and process biological samples, and may perform other non-invasive testing such as ECGs.

The CRC will also assist in the continuing education of physicians, residents, interns, nurses and other personnel with regards to knowledge of clinical trials and activities.

Finally, due to the nature of Community Hematology Oncology, the CRC will serve as the primary leaison between Research and the CRC’s assigned clinic, and the CRC will also be expected to provide coverage at other clinics as directed by the Clinical Research Manager.

This will require maintaining a working knowledge of clinical operations at all CHO clinics. The CRC may represent the investigator and institution during monitor visits and on-site audits conducted by the sponsor or sponsor representative.

The CRC will have and maintain a working knowledge of National Cancer Institute (NCI), FDA, DHHS and other agency guidelines that govern clinical research.

Additionally, the CRC is required to learn and remain up to date on the oncology disease sites their team manages. This includes understanding the basic disease processes and current standard of care therapies used for each disease site.

The CRC must be able to apply this knowledge to the tasks they are assigned. Given the complexities of oncology research and the challenges of working with a terminally ill population, strong customer service, organizational, and interpersonal skills are required.

Ability to clearly organize and / or adapt to multiple priorities and deadlines at one time is necessary. Attention to detail, service
