Clinical Trials & Biostatistics Subject-Matter Expert

Bring real trial design and biostatistics to our health SBIR work — endpoints, powering, and analyses that survive a study section.

About Precision Federal

Precision Federal is a Christian-owned small business building AI and software systems for federal agencies through the SBIR program. The founder is a Christian, and the company is run on Christian principles: every number we publish is real, every claim we make is verifiable, and the work is done with excellence as service to God. Every proposal we submit is backed by working prototypes built before we ask for a dollar.

How this role works

  1. You join the bench. We name you (with a short bio) on proposals that match this role, always asking you first. Consent costs you nothing and commits you to nothing until an award funds.
  2. A contract is awarded. Federal SBIR awards fund the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins, at an hourly rate agreed before you were ever named.
  3. You work remote, paid from the contract. ~40–80 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you'll do

  • Design study protocols, endpoints, powering and statistical analysis plans for health research proposals
  • Review our analytic claims the way an NIH study section or an FDA reviewer would
  • Advise on validation strategy for algorithms intended for clinical or regulatory use
  • Say when a sample, a cohort or an endpoint cannot support the conclusion being drawn

Required qualifications

  • Graduate training in biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology or a closely related field
  • Direct experience designing or analyzing clinical or observational studies
  • U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
  • Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

  • NIH, FDA, BARDA or DoD medical research experience
  • SBIR/STTR study-section or peer-review service
  • Real-world evidence, registry or EHR-based study design
  • Peer-reviewed publication record

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. $85–$125 per hour, confirmed in writing before you are named on any proposal. Hours are funded by federal contract awards — engagements on this bench have ranged from roughly 130 to 710 hours across a period of performance, fully remote. Work and pay begin only if the contract is awarded — no award, no hours, no obligation.

Five questions

These are the substance of the application. Answer from your own experience — a few sentences each is plenty, and “this never came up” is a real answer we want.
