The role will involve regulatory submissions and coordination (UF serves as the single IRB), coordination and communication between sites, training, local recruitment, informed consent (for the in-person cohort at UF and all participants in a virtual cohort), local study conduct, and virtual study conduct. In addition to a large site coordination role, the CRC will conduct all of the UF site visits (15-20 dyads, up to 7 in-person visits each) and the virtual study visits (75 dyads, up to 7 telephone visits each).

This will include scheduling visits, obtaining informed consent, performing screening visits, and conducting study visits every 6 months (either in person or by phone). Study visits consist primarily of administering questionnaires to caregivers.
