> baseline and follow-ups).  Along with the PIs, s/he will organize and
> co-lead bi-weekly phone conferences with project staff across all sites.
> S/he will meet weekly with the PIs to discuss progress on the specific
> project tasks.  S/he will be responsible for assisting with administrative
> project oversight (e.g., budget; personnel; purchasing), conducting
> literature searches; managing IRB/R&D reports; and assisting with the
> preparation of manuscripts and presentations.  At the Palo Alto site, s/he
> will help to prepare data collection protocols and materials during the
> project start-up period; recruit patients; conduct in-person clinical
> interviews with patients when they enter the study; track patients for
> follow-up phone interviews 6 and 12 months later; conduct qualitative
> interviews with patients and staff from the Domiciliary programs; check and
> code inventories and enter the data; and construct the project databases.
