About the position

NYU Grossman School of Medicine is one of the nation's top-ranked medical schools. For 175 years, NYU Grossman School of Medicine has trained thousands of physicians and scientists who have helped to shape the course of medical history and enrich the lives of countless people. An integral part of NYU Langone Health, the Grossman School of Medicine at its core is committed to improving the human condition through medical education, scientific research, and direct patient care. At NYU Langone Health, equity, diversity, and inclusion are fundamental values. We strive to be a place where our exceptionally talented faculty, staff, and students of all identities can thrive. We embrace diversity, inclusion, and individual skills, ideas, and knowledge. For more information, go to med.nyu.edu, and interact with us on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 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 interface extensively with our team's community partnered organization, God's Love We Deliver. The RDA will mainly work under the supervision of Dr. Robin Ortiz through the Department of Pediatrics, and in collaboration with her research team and God's Love We Deliver (GLWD). Dr. Ortiz's NOURISH Study collaborates with 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 example, 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 is assessing the implementation of a referral pathway for patients to be connected to services. This will require the RDA to support GLWD in collecting and reporting the data related to the referrals (e.g., number of referrals made, information about those who were referred, numbers who did not receive meals, etc.). We are additionally collecting mixed methods data (quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and eventually will include 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. The RDA will help to support the beginnings of data collection on this later part of the study. Therefore, the RDA, at least initially will mainly help work directly with GLWD to extract and clean data reports on referrals made or lost in the process between NYU and GLWD. The RDA will also follow-up on participants lost to follow-up, in need of additional support, and/or potentially interested in research study participation.
