Registration Reviewer
$65k - $70k USD
Overview
Black Canyon Consulting (BCC) is searching for a Clinical Trials Data Quality Analyst to support the ClinicalTrials.gov. Operated by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry and results database of publicly and privately supported clinical research conducted in the United States and around the world. Both registration and results submission are accomplished through the web-based Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS). Responsible parties commonly register trials and submit results prior to a journal publication. Unlike journal articles that are reviewed by both scientific colleagues and editors, data submitted to ClinicalTrials.gov are not peer-reviewed prior to posting, however specific review criteria must be met.
The successful candidate for this position will be responsible for reviewing results data submissions to ascertain whether they meet minimal review criteria for posting on ClinicalTrials.gov. Information regarding the ClinicalTrials.gov database and reporting requirements can be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/policy/fdaaa-801-final-rule.
