This is a part-time position that will conduct outreach and recruitment/referral of potential study participants for the
HIV
Prevention Trials Network (
HPTN
) 094 protocol for the **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. Clinical Research Site (
CRS
). The
HPTN
094 study examines the use of a mobile health unit to deliver integrated health services for drug treatment and

S/he will identify the best times during the day and week to conduct outreach in order to maximize the number of people reached and referred to the study, and all study-related activities must be documented. Outreach and recruitment would consist of reaching out to groups of people on the street where the population congregates, passing out fliers, talking about the study and making referrals to the study. Other outreach could include reaching out to networks of the population and organizations that serve this population. The outreach recruiter may also be asked to assist with retention activities to help find persons who are lost to follow-up. Attendance by phone/zoom or in person at weekly team meetings and/or meeting weekly with the supervisor is required. Nearly all of this work in the field will be done in-person with appropriate
COVID
protections and restrictions in place.
