Dear PIs, 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 people with relevant skills are presently under-utilized because their studies have been temporarily paused or are relatively inactive. We hope to match research coordinators who have some free time with investigators who need help to execute their COVID-related studies at UCalgary. Tomorrow, we will invite research coordinators who are potentially interested to identify themselves. We realize that it is important to note that the salary of a research coordinator supporting this effort would continue to be paid through their existing project or unit. Prior to confirming the assistance of a volunteer research coordinator with a COVID-related study, trustholders will be asked to give their approval. If you have questions or comments, please contact the CCCR. Thank you,
Marcello Tonelli
Associate Vice President (Health Research)
