The Project Manager I holds a position of responsible leadership in managing and coordinating the dual clinical practice and research missions of the Family Study Center's direct services clinic, the Infant-Family Center (IFC). This position works under the direction and leadership of the IFC Clinical and Training Director and plays a primary role for externally-sponsored grant-funded efforts, subsuming all aspects of the project life cycle, including planning, scope definition, design, execution, and delivery. They are responsible for reviewing grant scopes and operational details, preparing project plans and materials, helping to monitor team members; implementing project procedures and of accurate documentation with requisite timeliness and fidelity, and ensuring the successful completion of project goals. This includes responsibility for the overall day-to-day management of the professional practice, which serves children from birth to five years old and their families within a unique infant-family mental health framework, overseeing daily clinic operations, managing client intakes, and assuring timely, complete and valid data collection, data management, and data reporting. Additionally, the role includes ensuring the practice meets all operational requisites, reporting obligations, and deliverables dictated by university and funder expectations.

The world-recognized Family Study Center (FSC) is a USF Board of Governors Center within the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Psychology located on the St. Petersburg campus. Since 2003, the FSC has been a unique operational unit not just within the university and the state of Florida, but nationally and globally. It is one of the only Centers worldwide conducting both basic and applied research devoted to advancing the scientific study of how coparenting systems in the families of infants and young children influence children's development. The FSC is a respected leader nationally and internationally for path-breaking conceptual and empirical studies of coparenting and child development in diverse family systems, and since 2003 has stewarded over a dozen federal, state, and Foundation grants totaling over $10,000,000. Currently the FSC holds multiple recurring grants averaging over $2.2 million annually. Besides influencing infant-family mental health science and practice nationally and globally, the FSC has simultaneously exerted significant impact enabling the healthy development of children birth to five and their families throughout Pinellas and in neighboring Florida counties; provided a national model for family-sensitive supports; and pursued solutions that can have meaningful impact for every child, in every family. The FSC includes four divisions - research, community programs, student and practitioner training, and a direct services clinic, the Infant Family Center (IFC). The FSC Executive Director provides visioning and oversight for all areas, serving as the main Director of the FSC divisions, however, the IFC requires its own leadership from a subject matter specialist due to the sheer size and complexity of the work. The practical functioning of the IFC as a clinic, is as a distinct department-like unit within FSC. The IFC needs specialized administration and direction of its dual, specialized research and clinical missions. Hence, while the IFC contributes centrally to the FSC's unique mission and overall vision and research, it also maintains a distinctive local mission and vision within the Pinellas County system of care for infants, young children and families, requiring independent strategic planning, reporting and oversight to meet those goals, deliverables, and functional management of the unit. The IFC Director autonomously manages resources to fulfill the IFC program mission in accordance with priorities, time and budget requirements, ensuring that the goals and objectives of the program are accomplished, managing assigned staff and resources. Practically, the Executive Director of the FSC is most closely involved in the IFC programs' research initiatives and IRB compliance and reporting obligations, maintaining primarily a consultative and supportive role for the many other functions of this unit. The IFC as a separate division/program within the FSC, central to the FSC's research mission, functions in an entirely different manner with need for specialized professional qualifications, supervision, mandatory adverse event and child abuse reporting, malpractice insurance, license eligibility of direct service practitioners, and other professional monitoring requirements not central to the work of other FSC programs or staff. The IFC administers HIPAA-protected clinical research, provides direct services, and requires daily supervision and oversight of 8-10 clinical practitioners and other specialists providing direct services to families and contributing to multiple programs within the IFC. Additionally, the IFC administers a recurring sponsored project with a budget of approximately $1 million, that serves 100 Pinellas County children and families each year, offering clinical services guided by a coparenting model that contribute in a unique, nonduplicative way to Pinellas County's system of care for young children who have encountered trauma and early adversity. The IFC has an intentional focus on families who may have barriers to access, and as a result services are delivered in clinic, in home as well as in community. All efforts and initiatives based at the FSC contribute significantly to research, teaching, professional practice, and quality of life of communities.
