Serves as the central operational point of contact for assigned PI portfolios, organizing and leading regular checkins, circulating agendas and minutes, documenting decisions and action items, and following through to confirm timely completion of tasks by all team members.
Implements and maintains standardized organizational systems (e.g., shared drive structures, naming conventions, templates, SOPs, project management tools) tailored to neuroimaging and omics workflows, promoting consistency, version control, and reproducibility across projects.
Coordinates cross-functional project teams, including imaging core staff, data engineers, statisticians, coordinators, and external collaborators, to clarify roles, define timelines, monitor progress, and promptly address operational barriers.
Supports financial and administrative management of PI portfolios by collaborating with research administration on budget development, monitoring expenditures, managing invoicing and effort reporting, and flagging variances or risks early using structured tracking tools.
Prepares and quality checks high-detail materials for internal and external stakeholders, including status reports, slide decks, sponsor updates, and metrics summaries (e.g., enrollment, data completeness, analysis progress), ensuring all information is accurate, current, and clearly organized.
