Epidemiology has an outstanding opportunity for a Research
Coordinator.
The National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) serves as the data, communication, and collaboration
coordinating center for the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers (ADRC) Program. NACC is currently
funded by more than $58M in grants from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and is home to one of the largest (50,000+ participants),
oldest, and most powerful Alzheimer’s datasets. Our extensive database of rich, longitudinal, standardized clinical and
neuropathological data was built in collaboration with more than 42 ADRCs across the US over the past 23+ years.
NACC is driving
major innovations to modernize data infrastructure (collection, integration, storage, and sharing) and build interoperability with other
NIA-funded repositories to transform and advance Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementia (AD/ADRD) research
and discovery. NACC is expanding its database to integrate electronic health records, Medicare claims, digital biomarkers, and digital
neuropathology data, as well as additional genetic, biospecimen, and standard imaging (MRI and PET) metadata.
Additionally, NACC is
developing a novel data search and visualization portal to make all ADRC data streams readily searchable and accessible to the international
research community. This work will open the door to new discoveries in AD/ADRD, improve our understanding of the disease, and enable the
development of better early disease detection, personalized medicine, and more impactful therapeutics. NACC is part of the Department of
Epidemiology within UW’s School of Public Health.
NACC is organized into five teams: 1) technology team, 2) project team, 3)
research team, 4) grants and finance team and 5) communications team.

The
Research Coordinator role is a new position designed to manage the complex governance issues of data sharing as NACC integrates new data

(Institutional Review Board) requirements for ADRCs to ensure that their governance documentation is appropriate. This position provides
