The NIH is the premier biomedical research center for the world. Its 27 Institutes and Centers employ approximately 18,000 employees doing a vast array of jobs, all supporting efforts for a healthy nation. For information on the NIH mission, goals, and Institutes and Centers, visit NIH Overview.

This position is located in the Office of the Deputy for Research and Practice Development (DRPD), Clinical Center Nursing Department (CCND), at the NIH Clinical Center (CC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  The position directly supports performance measurement and improvement, data and systems management, and outcomes assessment for the CCND and reports directly to the Program Director for Outcomes Management within Research and Practice Development.  The incumbent in this position serves organizationally as a Nurse Consultant for Informatics. The ideal candidate would have a graduate degree in clinical informatics, with experience in electronic medical record documentation data capture and data recovery utilizing relational databases.

The CC is the 240-bed research hospital and ambulatory care research facility in Bethesda, Maryland that supports the Intramural Research Program (IRP) of the NIH. It is the largest inpatient facility in the country devoted exclusively to clinical research, and provides a full range of services from ambulatory clinical to critical care and special procedures. The focus at the CC on early phase and first-in-human clinical trials and on the study of rare diseases makes it possible to rapidly translate scientific observations and laboratory discoveries into new approaches for diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease. The patient population generally has a clinical intensity higher than that of comparable specialties in academic medical centers, and patients are seen for prolonged periods of assessment, treatment and recovery.

Nursing at the CC exists to provide clinical care and research coordination for patients participating in clinical research studies conducted by investigators within the IRP. As integral research team members, CC nurses provide support for the design, coordination, implementation and dissemination of clinical research by NIH investigators, with a focus on patient safety, continuity of care and informed participation. Nursing leadership is committed to supporting the NIH effort to train the next generation of clinical researchers and provide national leadership for the clinical research enterprise. The vision for nursing at the CC is to lead the Nation in implementing a specialty practice model for Clinical Research Nursing.
