  • Planning resource allocation to accomplish multiple research projects and attain project and study timelines.
  • Identifying innovative, timely and cost-effective methods to conduct epidemiologic studies.
  • Negotiating internal funding of projects.
  • Developing and negotiating research plans with external collaborators in academia or contract research organizations and working effectively with vendors for outsourced studies.
