Paid Research Opportunity for Wesleyan Undergraduates from the Weitzman Institute
Support provided by The Troy and de Wit Grant Fund for the Study of Guns & Society
Overview:
The Weitzman Institute is a national leader in evidence-based, stakeholder-informed primary care innovation and transformation, serving over 2 million patients across all 50 U.S. states, DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam through partnerships with FQHCs and other health systems. Established in 2007 as the first research, education, and policy center embedded within a large safety-net primary care health system, we ground our efforts in the real-world experiences of patients and healthcare teams, ensuring our work is both practical and impactful. Its unique environment, within a safety-net health system, has enhanced its ability to conduct research and promote innovation aimed at improving outcomes of vulnerable populations and developing implementation strategies for evidence-based, integrated practice for Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and other safety-net, primary care practices nationwide.
The Weitzman Institute seeks 1-2 student research assistants who will support core activities of a large, multi-stakeholder policy and research initiative focused on the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the implementation of a gun violence screener and closed-loop referral intervention within Community Health Center, Inc. The positions will be largely remote with occasional travel to implementation/research sites (Hartford, Meriden, Middletown, New Britain, and Waterbury, Connecticut).
