The mission of SIHI is to serve as a statewide hub for health education, research, and outreach to improve access to healthcare and emerging health innovation for rural and underserved populations. Three components of the institute—rural health outreach, opportunities for inter-professional education, and implementation of precision medicine innovations—aim to combat health disparities faced by patients living in rural and tribal communities.

As a member of the administrative team, the SIHI Program and Fiscal Coordinator will report directly to the Director of SIHI.

This position will also play a key role in providing programmatic support to the institute, including assisting and tracking IRB approvals, compliance training, and human participant remuneration; coordinating SIHI events (e.g., events, symposiums) and group travel; and managing the SIHI website.

Acute attention to detail and organizational skills are essential. The position is the primary source of continuity for the functions of SIHI and will positively represent SIHI, acting as a liaison between SIHI and its affiliated UM academic departments, faculty, staff and students, the Office of Sponsored Programs, and the public.
