The Associate in Research will play a leading role in quantitative research activities on the NIH grant, Implementation and Implications of Sickle Cell Trait Screening in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The goal of the grant is to identify and understand benefits, challenges, limitations, and risks of the NCAA sickle cell trait screening policy, and develop strategies to address areas of concern. The project includes a national survey and semi-structured interviews with staff and student-athletes at NCAA institutions across the U.S. about their perspectives and experiences regarding the NCAA sickle cell trait screening. The Associate in Research will provide input in the design, execution and analysis of the research, working closely with investigators and staff at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill in planning the sampling and weighting, executing pilot testing, performing formal analysis, presenting findings, and submitting publications related to the national survey.
