Dear Study Coordinators,

As you know, there are a number of COVID-related research projects that are gearing up to start. Many of these projects do not have dedicated funding given the short timelines involved.

There is a need for skilled research coordinators to help with these studies and we know that some of you are presently underutilized due to the recent downturn in clinical research activity.

We hope to match research coordinators who have some free time with investigators who need help to execute their COVID-related studies at UCalgary.

If your current study has been suspended or is relatively inactive, and you wish to be considered to support COVID-related research projects, please complete the Study Coordinator Information form:

It is important to note that your salary would continue to be paid by your current trustholder. Prior to confirming your assistance with a COVID-related study, your trustholder will be asked for approval.

If you have questions or comments, please contact the CCCR.
