Community partnership research project – posted 10/21

Dear colleagues in the School of Social Work,

My name is Jingyi Li and am a 3rd year doctoral student in the School of Nursing. I am reaching out to let you know a great opportunity to participate in a research project, involving partnership with the Asian Counseling and Referral Services (ACRS).

The purpose for our research project is to explore perceptions and knowledge related to memory loss among Asian immigrants (Samoan, Chinese, Cambodian, and Korean) through focus groups. The focus groups will be held in the native language of the participants.

We are looking for two UW students with any of the following expertise:

  1. Be able to speak fluently in Cambodian or Samoan.
  2. Have experience moderating a focus group discussion.
  3. Be able to translate focus group transcripts in Cambodian or Samoan.

If you have the above skills and are interested in joining a highly innovative team, have potential independent study experience, future reference letter writing and work with a stellar community partner, please send an email indicating your relevant expertise and attach your resume.  We are applying for IRB approval now and plan to conduct the focus groups in November of 2019.

If you are interested, please send your resume and an email with the subject line “ADP Volunteer Application” to adpuwproject@gmail.com . Applications will be reviewed as they arrive. The goal is to onboard the volunteer(s) end of this October with the focus groups scheduled for November. Attached is the flyer for this recruitment. If you know anyone may be interested in this opportunity, please help us distribute the flyer!
