POSITION TITLE: Doctorate-Level Research Assistant for NY Vaccine Literacy Campaign
ORGANIZATION: CONVINCE USA
With support from the New York Community Trust, the Altman Foundation, Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust and New York State Health Foundation, CONVINCE USA, an initiative at the CUNY School of Public Health and Health Policy, has launched the New York State Vaccine Education and Adoption Project, an 18-month vaccine education and engagement initiative. One of the Project’s key activities is the New York Vaccine Literacy Campaign (NYVLC) which will establish community-based channels for vaccine communication, training, and strategies. NY VLC will increase community-level access to vaccine education and information by offering tailored webinars, education modules, training, and other capacity-building resources. In consultation with a community advisory board, we will identify vulnerable populations that are at risk for unaddressed questions and concerns about vaccination and therefore more susceptible to mis/disinformation. Publicly available vaccine dosage data, as well as quarterly surveying aimed at assessing knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors around vaccination will inform the tailoring and targeting of content. With the guidance of the community engagement advisory board, the campaign will create inroads to CBOs in need of tools and strategies to build vaccine confidence in their communities.
Throughout this outreach and data collection, special attention will be brought to understanding the structural and environmental barriers to vaccine acceptance in both quantitative analysis (survey work) and engagement with the council of advisors. In the first 12 months, we will seek to engage at least 30 community-based organizations (CBOs) distributed across the five boroughs of New York City that are serving low-to-moderate income, minority and public housing residents, the elderly, and those in long-term care facilities. In Long Island, Westchester, and Rockland counties, we will seek to engage at least 15 CBOs.
Position Overview:
This role will support the program manager of the NY VLC and help ensure that the team meets greater program goals and deliverables in a timely and effective manner. The position’s responsibilities encompass health communication, education and training, quality improvement and surveying, partner support and workstream alignment. This is a part-time position at 20 hours per week for one year. Hourly rate will be commensurate with experience.
