Graduate Research Assistant, Food Fortification Initiative
Category : Student Opportunities
The Food Fortification Initiative (FFI) is a center at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University which exists to promote large-scale food fortification (LSFF), the process of adding vitamins and minerals to foods during processing to prevent malnutrition and improve health outcomes. Led by a network with expertise in the public, private, and civic sectors, FFI provides technical assistance to partners in multiple countries to plan, implement, and monitor LSFF programs.
FFI is looking for a graduate research assistant to support a mixed-methods research study among recipients of federal food and nutrition assistance in Georgia. This is a pilot study which aims to understand knowledge, attitudes, and practices surrounding the uptake and use of fortified foods among recipients of federal food and nutrition assistance (e.g., WIC and SNAP) in Georgia.
