BTN is the first research network in the world dedicated to improving treatments and care for survivors of sexual assault. BTN's mission is to remove barriers to the conduct of high-quality, large-scale research studies that improve survivors' lives. The goal of BTN is to greatly increase the number of studies of survivors performed, so that the care of survivors is steadily improved. Through collaborations with sexual assault treatment centers, researchers, stakeholders, and survivors, and through the use of the BTN National Research Volunteer Registry, BTN supports a range of interdisciplinary studies that focus on innovative approaches to prevention, early intervention, and treatment. BTN's long-term vision is to contribute to achieving the goal that one day no survivor will experience chronic reductions in physical health, mental health, or quality of life due to sexual assault, and that perpetrators will be fairly brought to justice within a survivor-supporting system.
The BTN Coordinator will independently provide clinical research administration and study coordination. The Coordinator will work alongside the BTN Manager and PI to advance BTN's mission, and will help manage research staff and student volunteers working on BTN studies. This position will be responsible for a broad range of duties related to planning, organizing, executing, and monitoring the implementation of new and existing studies and other research initiatives.
Duties will include supporting the PI and BTN Manager with maintaining research methods, tracking patients in the study, providing feedback and suggestions on the development/revision of research protocols and regulatory correspondence, and maintaining accurate and updated manuals of procedures for the studies. This position will serve as lead coordinator on one or more BTN studies. The Coordinator will also help oversee the network of partnering sites and contribute to the identification, selection, and negotiation of additional sites and studies, ensuring that partnering sites have the skill level and availability necessary to properly conduct the research. This position will also ensure that BTN staff are adhering to the appropriate SOPs and achieving excellence in patient/participant care.
Due to the nature of the research (sexual assault) and the geographical spread of study sites across time zones, typical encounters are after business hours and on the weekends, therefore it is typical that the position will provide support, respond when a potential research subject has been identified and make decisions
