Job Details
Position Summary:
We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Research Data Associate. We are seeking a Spanish-English bilingual Research Data Associate to collect data and support Dr. Ortiz’s intergenerational health equity research projects in the Department of Pediatrics at NYU Langone Health / NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and NYU Langone Brooklyn. The Research Data Associate will work with Medical Center staff and departments, including Directors, Managers, Research Staff, and interfaces with patients and their families.
The RDA will mainly work under the supervision of Dr. Robin Ortiz through the Department of Pediatrics, and in collaboration with her research team, on multiple projects. Dr. Ortiz’s Caregiver Cardiovascular Health Study aims to understand how the caregiver-child relationship and environment impacts adult caregiver cardiovascular health. The study responsibilities for the RDA will involve recruiting, screening, and conducting research visits with participants. Another project, NOURISH, collaborates with God’s Love We Deliver (GLWD), a community-based organization that provides medically tailored meals (MTM) to chronically ill persons located in New York City, and to adult clients’ dependents (e.g., children) in the home. One program, for examples, includes gestational diabetes and so supports pregnant persons and their families. The NOURISH study aims to connect NYULH patients with GLWD services and also aims to screen current GLWD clients and families for medical and social needs to be addressed with the support of a community health worker. The study will collect mixed methods data (quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and biospecimen collection for storage) for exploring the mechanisms underpinning the hypothesis that NOURISH will reduce stress and improve the cardiovascular health of GLWD clients/NYU patients (caregivers AND children) as measured by increased CVH scores and decreased dysregulation of cardiovascular-stress pathophysiology.
