Experienced Clinical Research Coordinator / CRC-II

Experienced Clinical Research Coordinator / CRC-II Track

About the Role

Inland Northwest Research is hiring an experienced Clinical Research Coordinator to support clinical trials in Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and other neurologic and central nervous system conditions.

This is not an entry-level CRC position. We are looking for someone with direct clinical trial experience who understands protocol adherence, source documentation, timely EDC entry, query resolution, monitoring visits, participant follow-up, and audit-ready study conduct.

The right person will be highly detail-oriented, organized, comfortable with participant recruitment and enrollment, and strongly motivated by high-quality clinical research work. This position fits within INWR’s CRC career pathway and may be placed at the CRC-I or CRC-II level depending on experience, with the expectation that the selected candidate can grow into independent trial ownership.

What You’ll Do

Study Coordination

• Coordinate assigned clinical trials from screening through close-out, with appropriate supervision based on experience level.
• Prepare for and conduct study visits according to protocol, GCP, ICH guidelines, HIPAA, and internal SOPs.
• Track participant eligibility, screening status, enrollment progress, visit windows, and follow-up requirements.
• Support recruitment and enrollment efforts, including prescreening, participant communication, and retention.
• Coordinate visit logistics with investigators, Sub-Investigators, nursing staff, laboratory vendors, sponsors, CROs, and participants.
• Maintain strong protocol awareness and proactively identify visit risks, missing data, timing concerns, and potential deviations.

Documentation, Data Quality & Compliance

• Maintain complete, accurate, contemporaneous, and audit-ready source documentation.
• Enter data into EDC systems accurately and within sponsor and site timelines.
• Resolve data queries, reconcile source and EDC data, and support database lock readiness.
• Maintain study binders, logs, visit checklists, delegation documentation, and study records as assigned.
• Identify and escalate protocol deviations, adverse events, safety concerns, and data integrity issues promptly.
• Support monitoring visits, sponsor communications, audit preparation, and inspection readiness.

Participant Interaction

• Conduct participant visits with professionalism, accuracy, and attention to participant experience.
• Assist with informed consent processes under PI oversight and in accordance with site SOPs.
• Communicate clearly with participants and caregivers about study visit expectations, scheduling, and follow-up needs.
• Maintain appropriate boundaries between clinical research participation and clinical treatment.

Clinical and Procedural Support

• Perform study procedures as allowed by training, certification, licensure, protocol, and delegation.
• Collect or coordinate collection of biospecimens, vital signs, questionnaires, scales, and other protocol-required assessments.
• Obtain or maintain phlebotomy certification if required for assigned studies.
• Support specimen processing, sample shipment coordination, dry ice orders, lab kit preparation, and study supply readiness as assigned.

Sponsor, Monitor & Team Communication

• Communicate professionally with monitors, CROs, sponsors, vendors, and internal staff.
• Prepare for monitoring visits and respond to follow-up items in a timely and organized manner.
• Keep the Research Manager, Research Director, PI, and Sub-Investigators informed of study issues, enrollment barriers, quality concerns, and participant safety matters.
• Collaborate with CRCs, Research Assistants, regulatory staff, and clinical personnel to maintain smooth study operations.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 18 months of direct clinical trial experience in a CRC, research nurse, research assistant, regulatory, data coordination, or comparable clinical research role.
• Working knowledge of GCP, informed consent, source documentation, EDC systems, monitoring visits, and protocol compliance.
• Demonstrated ability to maintain accurate, complete, and inspection-ready documentation.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing deadlines without losing detail.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfort working directly with research participants and caregivers.
• Ability to work fully on-site in Spokane, WA.
• Ability to complete CITI and GCP training prior to study delegation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Current CCRC, CCRP, or equivalent clinical research certification.
• Eligibility and willingness to obtain CCRC or equivalent certification within 12 months of hire, if not already certified.
• Phlebotomy certification or willingness to obtain phlebotomy certification after hire.
• RN, LPN, MA, or other relevant clinical licensure or certification.
• Prior neurology, movement disorders, CNS, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, or memory care experience.
• Experience with interventional drug, device, infusion, imaging, or biospecimen-heavy clinical trials.
• Experience with sponsor/CRO communication, monitoring visits, query resolution, and audit preparation.
• Experience with participant recruitment, screening, enrollment, and retention.

What We’re Looking For

This role requires exceptional attention to detail.
