Graduate Research Assistant, RSPH
Category : APE/ILE Student Opportunities
Position Description
An RSPH faculty member is seeking to hire a Graduate Research Assistant for federally funded cancer related projects. They are hoping to hire a student for the summer to work on our cancer survivorship program and help with data collection and analyses. This would be a great opportunity for those interested in program evaluation and implementation. Primary responsibilities may include:
- Program and monitor online data collection instruments
- Data collection (i.e. telephone-based interviews) and data entry
- Assist with administrative research tasks (i.e., research related mailings)
- Assist with mixed methods data analyses (e.g., creation of data tables, thematic analyses)
- Other tasks may include: attend research meetings and assist in report and manuscript writing.
Background
Many evidence-based interventions (EBIs) exist; however, their adoption and implementation in clinical and community settings is not optimal. Capacity-building and active dissemination are required to enhance their uptake. The cancer-related studies that the GRA would be working on seek to build capacity among health professionals in the areas of use of EBIs and program adaptation. The main project will package, evaluate and disseminate an educational and electronic personal health record for pediatric cancer survivors (SurvivorLink) among 12 pediatric cancer centers.
