Research Data Coordinator Integrative Medicine Research
- Requisition #: 180700
- Department: Pall Care & Rehab Med - Rsch
- Location: Houston, TX
- Posted Date: 5/11/2026
This is a randomized feasibility study testing a virtual lifestyle intervention for women with stable, hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. Participants receive an online lifestyle program alone or with Zoom-based group support and optional individual health coaching, targeting diet, physical activity, stress management, and psychosocial barriers. The Research Data Coordinator will manage and track feasibility metrics and patient-reported outcomes, including health behaviors and quality of life, to support a future larger clinical trial.
This prehabilitation program for ovarian cancer patients focuses on optimizing physical and emotional health before surgery through evidence-based lifestyle behaviors. Participants are supported in improving nutrition, gentle and progressive movement, stress management, sleep quality, and other healthy habits to build strength, resilience, and confidence heading into treatment. By addressing both physical conditioning and psychosocial well-being, the program aims to help patients enter surgery in the strongest possible position, potentially supporting better recovery and quality of life.
This position will require some travel to regional locations may be needed (League City, Woodlands, Sugar Land, and West Houston) to meet patients for study-related assessments.
