Evaluation Coordinator

Overview

The Center for Evidence-based Partnerships in Virginia (CEP-Va) was founded in 2019 by multiple visionary state leaders from state and local agencies who saw the need for a university-based, independent partner to assist Virginia in its efforts to increase access to quality behavioral health services.

• Join CEP-Va as Evaluation Coordinator for state-funded research projects and oversee ongoing evaluation of evidence-based programs (EBPs), including high-fidelity wraparound (HFW).
• Collect evaluation and program fidelity data for each EBP evaluated; perform data entry and data management of fidelity data.
• Prepare reports and perform general administrative functions (e.g., communications, file management).
• Work in a collaborative team environment with attention to detail and timely completion of tasks; some travel (reimbursable) around the state of Virginia may be required to present findings to partners.

Note:

Research Coordinators typically perform administrative and study-related duties essential to the successful management of research conducted by Principal Investigators. This position supports human subject research conducted in clinical or health care environments or requiring access to clinical facilities, systems, or data. Duties may include scheduling and monitoring research activities, conducting participant interviews, administering study-related assessments, recording observations, coordinating data management, monitoring data quality, purchasing supplies, tracking expenditures, summarizing results, preparing reports, and scheduling facilities.

Coordinators may work independently or as part of a team and report to a manager or director, or to a department administrator.
