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. <u>Requirements</u>: Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills will be necessary to facilitate the cooperation of a large project team.
