Apply to Join Study Team Workforce Development Working Group

Published on September 7, 2023

Are you a staff member of a health-related research study team or do you work in an environment that provides support to researchers across different departments?

If so, consider applying to serve on the MICHR Study Team Workforce Development Working Group (the Working Group) to share your knowledge, experience, and skills related to study team training and education at the University of Michigan.

Members of the Working Group should support a competency-based approach to education and training. Expectations include:

  • Reading and agreeing to the Working Group operational guidelines

  • Participation in virtual meetings as needed where members will share their knowledge and experience as a member of a research study team or research support office

  • Active participation in group tasks which may involve e-mail, sub-group meetings, and/or independent work.

We are seeking representatives from the following groups:

  1. Study team members who are hired through departments in Michigan Medicine. While a mix of roles is ideal, preference will be given for study coordinators, project managers, nursing research coordinators, or postdocs.

  2. Study team members who are hired through departments throughout the University of Michigan and external to Michigan Medicine. While a mix of roles is ideal, preference will be given for study coordinators, project managers, nursing research coordinators, or postdocs.

  3. Members who have a full-time role in a research support office. This should include a mix of offices in Michigan Medicine and across the U-M campuses.

Who is it for?
Study team members from any department, who work on health or medicine related research; or employees of offices that support researchers across departments
