Clinical Research Teams
Clinical Research Coordinator Team
The Clinical Research Coordinator Team is a centralized pool of clinical research coordinators that support studies across COM-P departments and divisions. TReO leadership works with each department to assess research staff needs, as well as handle the logistics of hiring and employee supervision on behalf of investigators. Recognizing the need to support study access for our Spanish-speaking community, TReO also maintains a pool of bilingual research coordinators across study teams as well as a racially diverse clinical research coordinator pool to support cultural competency efforts.
