Oncology Research Coordinator The Oncology Research Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the regulatory research services, advocate for the patient, and facilitates timely access to clinical trials through the cancer care research continuum. The Oncology Research Coordinator is responsible for regulatory compliance and the submission of clinical trials conducted through our cancer treatment center. Under the guidance of regulatory personnel within the Clinical Trials department, the Oncology Research Coordinator will collaborate with physicians, nurses and other key personnel to ensure compliance with the regulations of study sponsors, the Halifax Oversight Committee, and Institutional Review Boards (IRB). Duties includes obtaining regulatory approval for new protocols; maintaining approval for existing protocols; tracking and documenting completion of protocol training; obtaining approval for protocol addenda and study renewal; maintaining protocol databases; and submitting and tracking all IRB documents. Regulatory compliance must be enforced throughout the Clinical Trials Department to ensure compliance with FDA regulations, Good Clinical Research Practice Guidelines as outlined by the World Health Organization, and requirements of the National Institute of Health. Although the primary focus will be on regulatory compliance, the Oncology Research Coordinator will also be responsible for assisting with the management of ongoing clinical trials and assisting with new trials. Examples of these responsibilities include assisting in identifying potential trial participants; explaining and obtaining Informed Consents; entering adult and geriatric patients into trials; collecting and submitting data into the research bases of trials sponsors; and assisting physician investigators and their designees in follow-up management of trials participants.
