The American College of Radiology is a professional association serving over 42,000 members across the country.  Consistent with the ACR’s mission to advance the practice of radiology and improve the health outcomes of the populations we serve, the ACR’s Center for Research and Innovation (CRI) has been a world leader in radiology clinical research for over 50 years.  Over this period, the CRI has conducted clinical research trials and other research projects that have transformed the practice of radiology, informed the development of clinical practice standards, led to new device approvals, and changed healthcare policy.

The CRI serves as the core radiology resource for NCI multicenter clinical trials involving diagnostic or therapeutic radiology.  And, through active research committees in neuroradiology, cardiology, oncology, and pediatrics, the CRI has developed and delivered a diverse range of research studies in partnerships with academia and commercial sponsors.  Research studies range from prospective clinical trials to retrospective reader studies, clinical and imaging registries, novel imaging methods and imaging software, validation of biomarkers, radiomic feature analysis, and AI algorithm development and validation.

Based on these strategic objectives, ACR is seeking a Senior Clinical Project Manager to provide administrative coordination of the ACR’s responsibilities as the Prime Award recipient of the Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) group: a single, coordinated program designed to support the National Clinical Trials Network groups in carrying out rigorous, multicenter oncologic clinical trials.
