The UAMS/Department of Family and Preventive Medicine is currently recruiting a Research Associate (RA) to support a collaborative systems-change initiative to increase access to early childhood mental health services in Arkansas. This RA will support a collaborative grant, working with partners including UAMS, Excel by Eight, the Department of Human Services, and more. The RA will assist with information gathering to determine the interest in and feasibility of new provider types offering parent-child mental health services in identified areas and new settings and to inform financial and policy development needs. They will provide implementation support to pilot sites implementing early childhood mental health services and gather feedback and evaluation data to support sustainability.
Please share this exciting opportunity with colleagues in your network who are interested in mental health, public policy, health financing, and/or program evaluation. Questions can be directed to Alecia Hamilton at AHamilton@uams.edu.
