Program Description:

The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a stark light on the profound health disparities in NYC. Key to understanding these disparities is the need for high quality data that can help to better identify populations and communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and evaluate the effectiveness of advancing health equity to address COVID-19-related health disparities among disproportionately affected populations. This includes the need to improve standardization of demographic data and data disaggregation processes for COVID data during the emergency response and in planning for COVID recovery efforts.

Excellent written and oral communication skills.
Demonstrated inclusive and equitable leadership skills.
