The Addala Lab is seeking a bilingual Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator to perform duties related to the coordination of clinical studies in type 1 diabetes which assess drivers of disparities in diabetes technology use in youth with T1D and public insurance as a means to address and understand T1D disparities. Dr. Ananta Addala (https://profiles.stanford.edu/ananta-addala) is the principal investigator of the BEAD-T1D (Building the Evidence to Address Disparities in Type 1 Diabetes), and additionally supports learners (high school students, undergraduate students, medical residents and fellows) in various research aimed at improving disparities in diabetes care and outcomes. This dedicated ACRC will work closely with the PI and study supervisor as part of dynamic study team and will coordinate various aspects of the BEAD-T1D study and other studies, as needed.
This position will have the opportunity to engage in and contribute to studies in unique and exciting ways through duties that include participant recruitment, obtaining informed consent, supporting patients through study activities, administering surveys and focus groups, conducting patient outreach regularly, administrative tasks related to study management, and supporting data collection and analysis.

Additionally, applicants should value high attention to detail, be innovative and collaborative, as well as demonstrate consistent initiative and follow through.
