The Clinical Trials Support Office (CTSO) is part of Michigan Medicine’s strategic research initiative working towards improving clinical care, value, and health outcomes by successfully executing a diverse portfolio of high-quality clinical research. The CTSO provides the organizational structure of local service units, central infrastructure, and governance oversight. Within the CTSO, Clinical Trials Support Units (CTSUs) aligned by research foci, are trans-departmental and provide comprehensive pre- and post-award support to study teams, offering high-quality, efficient service in support of a wide variety of clinical research.
The CTSO helps life-changing research happen. The science we support is not only interesting, but it also has the very real potential to positively impact patients and their families. We are looking for a candidate who embraces their supporting role in pushing these scientific advancements forward. The CTSO is a relatively new organizational model. You’ll have the flexibility to impact the entire team as our unit expands its mission to support clinical research. Creative problem-solving skills are strongly encouraged.
Like many administrative units across U-M, the CTSO is currently operating under a virtual work model for administrative staff. This position would currently be a work from home position and is likely to require little in-person activity in the future.
The Research Administrator Intermediate position is part of the new Research Administration career pathway, offering clear guidance on growing your career with our team. This position is responsible for standard/routine research administration-related activities, such as pre-award (i.e. budget development and negotiation) and/or post-award (i.e. reconciliation of project accounts, invoicing sponsors), and has potential to support any one of our Clinical Trials Support Units. This particular position emphasizes pre-award responsibilities.
