The Bellwether Collaborative for Health Justice seeks a Senior Clinical Research Coordinator to lead all aspects of the NOTRE Study in the DC Metro Area . The study is a patient preference trial designed to optimize and test the efficacy of a co-packaged intervention LAI PrEP and buprenorphine (XR-B) intervention in the mid-Atlantic region of the country (Maryland and DC). This project is funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and a part of a national network entitled : The Collaborative Network to End the HIV Epidemic and Address Addiction in the Criminal Justice System (CONNECT). NIDA launched the Collaborative Network to End the HIV Epidemic and Address Addiction in the Criminal Justice System (CONNECT) in 2024 to address significant service delivery gaps at all points of the SUD and HIV care cascades for justice-involved populations. Our academic partners in this work include Friends Research Institute, Brown University, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

About the Bellwether Collaborative for Health Justice :

As part of the Duke University Department of Population Health Sciences, it is the mission of the Bellwether Collaborative for Health Justice to shine a light on how the criminal legal system acts as a structural determinant of health and impacts population and individual level health outcomes. We are an interdisciplinary research team, led by Dr. Lauren Brinkley-Rubinstein. Our work draws on the expertise of criminal legal system-involved persons and carceral and community stakeholders to inform innovative research that has practice and policy implications.

About the Research :

Co-occurring substance use and HIV risk among people in carceral settings are a syndemic. Approximately 17% of all incarcerated people have an opioid use disorder (OUD), and the prevalence of HIV is 3-5 times that of the general population. Evidence-based interventions, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD, e.g., buprenorphine) can mitigate adverse OUD outcomes and prevent HIV infection, yet these interventions are underused in both carceral settings and during community re-entry. Even when they are put into practice, barriers to optimal uptake, adherence, and continuation often occur. Long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations of both PrEP and buprenorphine have recently been approved by the FDA, providing opportunities to innovate on how these medications are deployed. In addition, evidence in the community proves that integrated MOUD and HIV efforts, when delivered in tandem, improve outcomes for those with OUD, and that retention in MOUD predicts positive HIV prevention outcomes.

Minimum Requirements :

An Associate's degree is required.

Work requires a minimum of six years of research experience. A Bachelor's degree may substitute for 2 years required experience.

Preferred Qualifications :
