A research team at MSU is in immediate need of undergraduate or graduate students to assist with a large-scale NIH-funded study. The Guys/Girls Opt for Activities for Life (GOAL) project promotes healthy eating and physical activity to middle school age children. This opportunity not only provides clinical experience, but would also be a great resume booster. All positions are paid depending on position and level of experience. See below for the positions we have available:
Physical Activity and Nutrition Intervention Coach (1-2 days/week for 13 weeks): Do you have availability for the entire time between 12pm-7pm on Wednesdays? Our Intervention Coaches ‘coach’ between 12pm-7pm at the middle schools for the project’s after school program. Considering that the schools are within a 2 hour radius and setup/breakdown times are included (transportation is also provided), we are looking for folks who are available during those entire time frames. Sheldon Donald (donal121@msu.edu) is the Intervention Coordinator and would love to chat with you if you are available on Wednesdays for the entire time blocks. Please send him an email that you are available during this entire time block and he will get a Zoom meeting on the schedule.
Physical Activity and Nutrition Intervention Coach Backup (Monday-Thursday for 13 weeks): Do you have availability for the entire time between 12pm-7pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday? Our Intervention Coach Backups ‘coach’ between 12pm-7pm at the middle schools for the project’s after school program if/when the Coaches are unable to make their shift. Considering that the schools are within a 2 hour radius and setup/breakdown times are included (transportation is also provided), we are looking for folks who are available during those entire time frames. Backups are on call only and have the flexibility of participating on a clinical research project intermittently. Sheldon Donald (donal121@msu.edu) is the Intervention Coordinator and would love to chat with you if you are available on Wednesdays for the entire time blocks. Please send him an email that you are available during this entire time block and he will get a Zoom meeting on the schedule.
