ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS 1. Plan and execute the Nourishing Power Network intervention designed by the PI and community partners. Execute the Nutrition Equity Fund component of the intervention working directly with community partners to develop, manage, and evaluate the grantmaking process from RFP to evaluation. Assist with and coordinate the other components of the intervention (i.e., Advisory Council, Fellowship, Networking) performed by other lab members and community partners ensuring adequate resources, assisting with study design, implementation, and data analysis and interpretation. Oversee progress of the intervention and provide regular progress reports to the PI and Nourishing Power Leadership Team; and provide input and recommendation to PI regarding significant developments in research projects. (40%) 2. Oversee research work, including management of multiple sub-contracts and ensure projects are being completed according to the research plan. Mentor and train lab members, including students, post-docs, and community partners. This will involve teaching other members of the lab about community action research techniques and methods applied within the Nutrition Equity Fund intervention component. Assist and teach both established and new research techniques to other lab members to facilitate intervention implementation and evaluation. Coordinate trainings for lab members, including community partners. (25%) 3. Assess, update, and develop new standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the Nourishing Power Network study. Assist the PI and independently develop new techniques and protocols for intervention implementation and progress reporting, including financial reports of matching funds required for grant reporting. (20%) 4. Present data and findings to reach diverse audiences, including scientific audiences as well as leaders from community organizations, coalitions, and local governments. Execute communications plan for the Nourishing Power Network intervention to translate the study’s findings via social media and project website, bi-monthly newsletter, quarterly networking events, and via user-friendly decision support tools. Consult with study teams to provide technical assistance to support the effective translation of study findings using diverse approaches including toolkits, data briefs, white papers, networking events, conference presentations, media coverage, and manuscripts. Prepare manuscripts and other reports for dissemination to national and local audiences; and contribute preliminary data and writing for grant proposal development. (15%)

The Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences offers research and graduate education in biostatistics and bioinformatics; genetic epidemiology; global and environmental health; health promotion and prevention; public health; health services research. The Department (http://pqhs.case.edu/) is currently growing under the leadership of the chair and the Institute for Computational Biology (http://www.icompbio.net/). Case Western Reserve University and its associated hospitals (University Hospitals/Rainbow Babies, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, and VA Medical Center) provide a rich environment for basic science, clinical, and population health research. Research is promoted through multiple research centers within the CWRU including the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods (www.prchn.org), Comprehensive Cancer Center, Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC, http://casemed.case.edu/ctsc/), Cardiovascular Research Institute, Tuberculosis Research Unit, and Center for Global Health and Diseases (http://www.case.edu/orgs/cghd/).
