Research Data Coordinator

General summary/purpose:

Jhpiego has partnered with the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) to staff and train their COVID-19 Mobile Vaccine workforce. Focusing on vaccine equity, Jhpiego and the BCHD are committed to focused, culturally responsive outreach to ensure access to and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine by all Baltimoreans through strategic implementation of mobile vaccine clinics. The COVID-19 Mobile Vaccine program engages Baltimore City community members, ambassadors, and leaders to bring culturally responsive COVID-19 vaccine to priority populations through mobile clinics while also working to address vaccine acceptance and uptake among these groups throughout Baltimore.

The Baltimore City COVID-19 Data Entry Clerk will be responsible for accurate and timely documentation and data entry, records maintenance and management, and tracking key data elements from multiple data sources and streams, in support of Baltimore City’s COVID-19 vaccination program. This entry-level position will support the VALUE (Vaccine Access and Acceptance Lives in Unity, Education and Engagement) Communities Team, which aims to ensure equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution across Baltimore; and the Mobile Vaccine Team, which enables access to and uptake of COVID-19 by bringing vaccine closer to Baltimore City communities through the provision of mobile vaccination clinics. The Data Entry Clerk will support both teams as needed, entering a variety of data using current technologies, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of data entry to facilitate the operations of both teams, and reporting progress towards team objectives. Under the supervision of Jhpiego and the Baltimore City Health Department, the Data Entry Clerk is expected to engage with counterparts, community members, and other stakeholders in the COVID-19 response in Baltimore City in a professional manner. This position will assist with data entry for mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinics for VALUE communities, focused initially on older adult and homeless populations and rolling out to other populations as vaccine eligibility criteria expands.
