Consideration for Research Ops Models
When creating a research ops role, it's crucial to consider whether a generalist or specialist model is more suitable based on the specific needs of the organization. A generalist approach involves a broad focus on building foundational elements of research infrastructure, including training, tooling, and governance. On the other hand, a specialist model delves deep into a specific area, often focusing intensely on participant recruitment.
