The Data Collection Specialist works in conjunction with the Director of Research Operations, Project Directors, Data Collection Specialist, and other research staff to collect standardization and clinical data in the development of our assessment products.

Their role is to collect data by administering our assessments in standardization development to key populations (e.g., representative standardization samples and applicable clinical groups), build and maintain positive data collection relationships, and provide user feedback on assessment administration.
