Currently, we are recruiting students to be research associates to help compile data and do research on the resources Maryland has to tackle these environmental health challenges. This research will be conducted through the GHHI Summer Research Institute and will take place between June 2, 2015 and August 11, 2015.
The research associate position at 2015 GHHI Summer Research
Institute is a part-time, unpaid, volunteer summer research opportunity
conducted from the comfort of your home. This project aims to open source
information to aid local nonprofits and legislators in their fight to improve
the state of healthy housing in Baltimore.
Our mission is to utilize the amazing research capacity of
undergraduates across the country to collect this information. We are able
to accomplish this by communicating via webinars and utilizing pre-formatted
and very prescriptive excel spreadsheets which allow information to be
collected in a universal template. We are looking for students from any
background, and no previous experience is required.
The information that is collected will be published in an online
Wikipedia-style Healthy Housing Database that allows us to open source this
information exponentially across the country and allow for other student groups
and professionals to update and expand this research.
By the end of the summer, you'll have partaken in a new
publication, contributed to a national website, learned about environmental
health, and helped low-income families in their fight to improve their standard
of health!
