SUMMER 2020 STUDENT OPPORTUNITY AT UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE

***This is not explicitly CJ related but relevant and would have enormous resume value....plus it is paid!!
Community-Engaged Research Project with the PATIENTS Program
at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy

Overview: One 10 week/400 hour student internship is being offered to a College of Behavioral and Social Sciences or School of Public Health student with an interest in community-engaged research. Funded by the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership (MPower), the project is part of the UM Scholars program for a University of Maryland College Park student to conduct research in Baltimore at the University of Maryland Baltimore’s School of Pharmacy. The selected student will receive $5000 for the work, to be paid in three installments over the 10 weeks. Travel to, and parking at UMB, is the responsibility of the student.

About the Project:
• Historical mistrust of research is deep-rooted in Baltimore.
• The School of Pharmacy’s PATIENTS Program is transforming the research enterprise to be more
patient-centered. Our ongoing methodological research is investigating ways to build trust and
engage historically under-represented populations (e.g. current R24 from National Institute on
Aging).
• Our research also explores better ways to communicate the results of FDA review of research
studies for lay audiences, particularly seniors (e.g. current grant from MCERSI).
• Our work also explores how to apply continuous quality improvement principles to patient-
centered research (e.g. current award from PCORI).
• The student intern will participate in meetings for ongoing research projects and will carve out a
specific topic to lead. Topic could include developing a framework or LOGIC model for the
benefits and requirements for authentic community-engaged research. The student intern will
participate in community events in addition to community-engaged research.
