DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

The Design and Implementation Sciences Program is seeking a Research Data Analyst to lead our group of dynamic researchers directed by Professor Edmond Ramly. Working under the direct supervision of Professor Ramly, the person in this role will lead research teams on the user-centered design, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of health interventions to advance knowledge creation, and integration in the fields of human factors engineering and implementation science.
The mission of the Design and Implementation Sciences Program is to conduct research and training to accelerate the implementation of better health by design in order to achieve evidence-based impacts through human-centered solutions. Our research includes a focus on non-communicable chronic conditions and related risk factors (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, tobacco use, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, etc.). Other issues pertaining to the health of chronically ill or older adults are investigated as well. Example projects include tailored process improvement in primary care, telehealth for people with multiple chronic conditions, scalable quality improvement through data-driven collaboratives, sustainable tobacco cessation in cancer centers, and heart disease prevention across settings. Our research involves real-world projects and stakeholders and has practical implications by providing direct support to regional and national health decision-makers through evidence-based practice design and implementation.
