    This research coordinator will work with a large team of faculty and students in a 5 year NIH grant. This clinical researcher (RN/BSN and research experience preferred) coordinates and executes clinical research in a large and fast paced project that is repeatedly testing patients with diabetes and prediabetes. This person needs research management skills to coordinate some of the clinical testing that takes place between multiple labs, to keep track of compliance with regulations required for human clinical research, to participate in data analysis and scientific writing, and to be responsible for a number of hands on clinical and analytical procedures.

    Clinical and scientific knowledge of prediabetes, diabetes, and related cardiovascular and metabolic conditions is needed for the above activities. The study is examining the association between factors determining vision and a variety of risk factors impacted by impaired blood glucose regulation (especially cardiometabolic risk factors, inflammatory proteins, and physical inactivity).

    The work involves expertise in a specific skill set such as obtaining arterialized blood during an oral glucose tolerance test and various other research methods (see below). Although the work is part time, the hours and days of the week are inflexible because the workflow must follow the pace of recruiting and testing volunteers according to their schedules.

On many days, the candidate will be involved in performing oral glucose tolerance tests after an overnight fast and the work day will start by 7:00 AM. The completion of the work day is also variable based upon the workflow.
    2. As coordinator, this person will be responsible for keeping the principal investigator and everyone else informed on the balance of volunteers meeting criteria for the multiple categorical levels of glucose regulation and other criteria needed for the study.
    3. Ensure consent process is well controlled and collect consent forms for delivery to the principal investigator to securely store. Help schedule study visits.
    4. Be skilled in taking blood draws, including the use of intravenous catheters in the forearm and arterialized "capillary blood" sampling from the finger punctures.
    5. Proficient in the administration of oral glucose tolerance tests
