Ambassador

Jamie Roberts

Duke University, School of Medicine, Clinical & Translational Science Institute – Senior Staff Director

Years Involved in Patient Centered Research: 10+ years
State: North Carolina
Stakeholder Type: Training Institution

Jamie Roberts has a Master’s degree in Bioethics and health policy with a focus in the ethics of phase 1 oncology research and end-of-life care. She also has a Master of Public Health with a focus in health communication and education. Roberts is a nurse who has worked in clinical research for the past 15 years. Since transitioning from bedside nursing to clinical research, she has been a people-centered outcomes research champion, recognizing very early on that if we want to engage people in participating in research, then we need to be conducting research that is important to them and that would have an impact on their health or the health of their families in meaningful ways. It is incredibly gratifying to watch the clinical research enterprise pivot toward patient-centered outcomes research. Roberts elected to become a PCORI Ambassador a few years ago to join the community of people who have dedicated themselves to seeing that research is conducted in a meaningful and scientifically rigorous way.
