The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing is seeking a Research Program Coordinator for clinical trials on hypertension. Along with study investigators, the program coordinator will manage all operations of the LINKED-HEARTS or LINKED-BP Programs.

The LINKED Studies will test an innovative, theoretically derived, patient-centered, multi-level intervention to address individual and community-level social determinants that affect hypertension control. The LINKED-HEARTS Program focuses on addressing structural issues of access and includes a home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and blood glucose telemonitoring platform; team-based care including a pharmacist and community health worker, and provider-level interventions.
