Biorepository Research Coordinator - TGH Cancer Institute Research & Education

The Biorepository Research Coordinator I (BRC I) will play a key role in the ongoing operations of the Tampa General Hospital/USF Health Precision Medicine Biorepository (PMBioR) with the goal of generating, organizing and delivering diverse, high quality bioanalytes and abstracted data needed to meet the objectives of the rapidly growing clinical and translational research programs at Tampa General Hospital and its Cancer Institute. Under general supervision and following established policies, procedures and professional guidelines, the BRC I is responsible for providing study coordination, including screening of potential patients for protocol eligibility, presenting, consenting and documenting the informed consent process. In addition, the BRC I will enroll subjects in order to collect, prepare, preserve and manage diverse biological specimens destined for Research testing. They will be responsible for accurate and timely source documents, data collection, documentation, entry, and reporting, including timely response to sponsor queries. With direction and oversight, the BRC I supports, facilitates and coordinate daily Biorepository activities and plays a critical role in the conduct of the study by assisting in low complexity, mild patient acuity cases with a moderate workload. BRCs work closely with TGH operating room staff, faculty members of the Departments of Pathology, Surgery, Anesthesiology, Nursing as well as TGH CI leadership, faculty, and other staff to facilitate daily productivity and successful execution of assigned responsibilities in a professional manner.
