The Research Data Associate will work with Medical Center staff and departments, including Directors, Managers, Research Staff, and will interface with patients and their families.

The RDA will primarily support two major research projects funded by the NIH and PCORI, respectively. The NIH project aims to understand how the implementation of New York's Medicaid 1115 Demonstration Waiver may contribute to mitigating social needs and promoting healthier feeding and activity practices in families. The PCORI project aims to use stakeholder-centered methodology to develop guardrails around the creation of AI-generated nutrition guidance for parents of young children.

The RDA will also support additional research projects. Dr. Duh-Leong focuses on how differences in environments and experiences shape early nutrition security ensuring sustainable access, affordability, and intake of healthful nutrition during pregnancy and early childhood. The research aims to understand how policies and programs may contribute to differences in healthy growth and well-being across the life course, with a particular emphasis on pediatric primary care interventions, adverse social determinants of health, and relational health.

RDA will primarily be recruiting research participants and obtaining informed consent. The RDA will recruit and enroll participants from the waiting room of a large public hospital. They will efficiently screen potential participants using study eligibility criteria and document outreach and enrollment activities. They will follow up with enrolled participants to complete assessments including semi-structured qualitative interviews and co-design workshops.

The RDA will create projects and instruments on Red Cap with training provided as needed and will enter all assessment data into Red Cap and Excel. The RDA will assist with data cleaning and data management. The RDA will provide data entry, ensuring data quality and integrity. The RDA will learn how to perform basic data analysis, with an opportunity to use statistical software such as Stata and R.

The RDA will also engage in qualitative data analysis using software such as Dedoose, so experience is preferred (and not required). Training will be provided by Dr. Duh-Leong and the study team as relevant and needed.

The RDA will support the preparation of Institutional Review Board (IRB) materials including the original protocol, amendments, updates, and renewals, as well as keeping track of all study team member requirements. The RDA will assist with the upkeep of the Study Regulations binder.

The RDA will complete medical chart review at study time points in order to collect vital signs, weight, and any applicable medical information. This includes using the medical record systems at Bellevue, NYU Langone Health, and NYU Langone Brooklyn, and requesting medical charts from other institutions where families may have transferred.
