Research Enrollment Coordinator II, Hybrid

GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) All of Us Research Program is a landmark longitudinal research effort that aims to engage one million or more U.S. participants. The Program's mission is to speed up health research breakthroughs. Participants are invited to contribute to All of Us for 10 years, by sharing a range of data about themselves, by completing questionnaires, granting access to their electronic health records, providing blood and urine samples, undergoing a physical evaluation, and sharing real-time information via smartphones or wearable devices. A primary goal of All of Us is to create a national resource for researchers to help answer important questions about a variety of health conditions. The All of Us Research Program will support research in various areas, including pharmacogenetics, precision medicine, prediction and prevention, to advance treatments of diseases. To accomplish the program mission, it is important to continue to engage participants as they contribute information over the 10 years of their involvement in All of Us and to return value of research to participants.

Mass General Brigham (MGB), in collaboration with Boston Medical Center (BMC), was selected as one of ten enrollment sites for the All of Us Research program. More than 30,000 participants were enrolled in All of Us across New England. The MGB and BMC sites have been successful in retaining more than 40% of participants in activities for All of Us.

Now, the NIH national program is seeking support to define best practices for participant engagement and "retention," in All of Us that can be used by All of Us sites across the US, to support participants to continue to share information and value from research for the duration of their participation in the program.

The Research Coordinator position will work closely with the Program's Research Project Manager and Program Manager to identify best practices, promising practices and innovations in engagement to retain participants in longitudinal, observational research studies such as All of Us.
