Research Assistant

Georgetown University comprises two unique campuses in the nation’s capital. With the Hilltop Campus located in the heart of the historic Georgetown neighborhood, and the Capitol Campus, just minutes from the U.S. Capitol and U.S. Supreme Court, Georgetown University offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, and unparalleled opportunities to engage with Washington, D.C. Our community is a close-knit group of remarkable individuals driven by intellectual inquiry, a commitment to social justice, and a shared dedication to making a difference in the world.

The Research Assistant (RA), Department of Family Medicine - Georgetown University, supports the conduct of a large, multi-site, randomized controlled trial. Main responsibilities center on the recruitment and enrollment of patients into the study, including outreach and providing information about the study, identifying and prescreening individuals, obtaining informed consent, collecting questionnaires and data, and following patients for the duration of their participation (approximately 2-4 weeks). Most activities will occur at
primary and urgent care offices in the greater metro area.

Running a clinical trial is a time intensive endeavor as it requires close interactions with patients, practicing clinicians, subcontractors and multiple university personnel. The RA will work closely with the PC to respond to emails, phone calls and meetings. The RA will need to have a personal phone that GU covers expenses or a GU issued cell phone. Activities performed by the RA will directly support the progress of the projects. RA may need training on various GU applications, such as Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap), to record project activities. The RA serves as the main study contact at a number of primary and urgent care offices clinics, with diverse patient populations and previous research experience. Strong interprofessional skills and ability to adapt to different clinic workflows and patients are essential. On occasion, RA should be able to accommodate alternative working hours during high-volume periods, seasonal patterns of respiratory illness, student breaks, and when necessary to minimize barriers to participation. Since the majority of recruitment activities will be conducted off-campus, the RA will need to exercise discretion and independent judgment, especially when scheduling and interacting with clinic personnel.

The RA will report directly to the PC and PI. The RA will frequently interact with other members of the research team, site teams and the data coordinating center (DCC) at MedStar Health Research Institute (MHRI). The RA will attend bi-weekly team and project meetings, and educational/training on topics in clinical research.
