The Clinical Research Coordinator I (CRC I) will support programmatic and research activities under the direction of Michael Pistiner within the Mass General Hospital Food Allergy portfolio. This role spans two distinct but related initiatives: the Food Allergy Prevention Program and the Food Allergy Buddies Program.

The Food Allergy Prevention Program focuses on early allergen introduction and caregiver education, including coordination of the Food Allergy Management & Prevention Support Tool for Infants and Toddlers (FAMP-IT), a digital clinical support and education platform. FAMP-IT is also used to provide education, training, and implementation support to state and local Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) offices and partners. The Prevention Program includes coordination of clinician- and caregiver-facing educational programming, including FAMP-IT Office Hours.

The Food Allergy Buddies Program is a peer-support initiative designed to connect families managing food allergies and includes an associated research component evaluating program impact through a mixed-methods study.

The CRC I will assist with day-to-day program operations, prevention programming, external partner coordination (including WIC stakeholders), participant engagement, clinical research activities, and grant development support. The role will also support ongoing review and updating of program and platform content to ensure alignment with current evidence and clinical guidelines. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to interact effectively with patients, families, community partners, and multidisciplinary teams are essential.
