You will prepare grant proposals and secure extramural research funding, partner with research teams (data analysts, project managers, and biostatisticians) to lead research studies, and ensure they are completed successfully. Additionally, you will publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at national scientific meetings.
