On Monday, January 21st, the University of Washington will be celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a Day of Service (and a day off from school). In honor of Dr. King, the UW
Carlson Center has partnered with the United Way of King County to coordinate over 90 service projects with organizations all over the local community. We would like to invite you to make that Monday a Day ON and take on a leadership role serving the local community and honoring Dr. King’s legacy.

We are still in need of about 47 people to serve as a Project Leader for the
Day of Service — it is a fairly minimal commitment, and a fantastic way to
connect with and serve the city (in addition to being a great experience to
share on applications or a resume). Read more

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Ghana ranges from no access in many rural areas to access comparable to some major US cities. What strategies do people with low incomes use to connect to others and get the information they need? How does this impact their lives? We can get answers to these questions through research and direct experience. Whether you are interested in the uses and impacts of ICTs on the lives of people in developing countries, or more generally in information and communication in another country or learning about how to do field research, this seminar is an opportunity to explore researched-based learning through immersion in the people and culture of Ghana.

The cross-network/trans-NIH Institute Youth Prevention Working Group (YPRWG) is seeking a post doc or graduate student in a related field of study (e.g., social welfare, public health, sociology, psychology) familiar with the HIV clinical research landscape to review HIV prevention literature.

Research assistants would apply inclusion criteria developed by the YPRWG, help determine articles and measures appropriate for inclusion in a searchable database, and make metadata assignment recommendations.  The database will help the committee analyze the existing research imperatives, trial results, and protocols in development to identify gaps in the NIH HIV/AIDS scientific enterprise.   Read more
