Description
Position Overview:
The William Tierney Center for Health Services Research located at Regenstrief Institute, Inc. is seeking a Research Coordinator I to join our focused and fast-paced health services research community. The Research Coordinator I organizes and manages research studies as determined by research protocols.
The person filling this role will be joining the Health Information and Communication Research Team led by Dr. April Savoy, a human factors engineer and Research Scientist at the Regenstrief Institute, Core Investigator with the VA Health Services Research Center for Health Information and Communication, Director of the VA HumanComputer Interaction and Simulation Laboratory, and Associate Professor and Solberg Academic Excellence Scholar in Purdue University's Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering. Her NIH Career Development Award focuses on designing an assistive information technology system that integrates continuous glucose monitoring data to improve hypoglycemia awareness and shared decisionmaking among patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Diabetes, caregivers, and clinicians. In addition, the Human-Computer Interaction & Simulation Laboratory research applies cognitive systems engineering to address EHR usability challenges, referralloop breakdowns, and communication barriers resulting from interoperability gaps. Dr. Savoy is also contributing to a new research initiative leveraging human factors engineering to guide the integration of AI into clinical workflows. Given her broad collaborations across the Regenstrief Institute, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Purdue University, Indiana University, and multiple healthcare systems, the Research Coordinator I will work closely with individuals across these institutions and organizations to coordinate research activities, facilitate communication, manage regulatory and compliance processes, and ensure the efficient execution of complex interdisciplinary studies.
HSR Research Coordinators provide critical day-to-day support on projects like randomized controlled trials, health systems research initiatives, and qualitative and mixed-methods research studies, all focused on improving both the delivery of care and health outcomes. All team members, including the Research Coordinator I, are provided computer equipment so that they can work and be available to the project team and study participants. The William M. Tierney Center for Health Services Research at Regenstrief is closely affiliated with the Indiana University School of Medicine, Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, Eskenazi Health and Indiana University Health. Please visit our website at www.regenstrief.org/centers/center-health-services-research/ for more detailed information about the mission of our center and institute and our research efforts to improve healthcare.
Although this study team's opening is designed for a Research Coordinator I candidate, applicants with more or less research experience may be considered for alternative roles.

Position requires multiple days in the office per week, so the candidate must be in the Indianapolis area or willing to relocate within 60 days of hire.
