Patient Co-Investigator for a Community-Engaged Project

A few quick questions to see whether this role is a fit. You'll get your result right here on the page.


Dr. Pravesh Sharma (Mayo Clinic Health System), with Dr. Sara Santarossa (Henry Ford Health) and Ms. Amanda Knights-Shi (Tubman Center for Health and Freedom), is submitting a letter of intent for a new grant to build capacity for research on substance use within Black immigrant families.

We're looking for a Patient Co-Investigator — a named member of our team who shares their perspective, helps adapt our materials so they fit the community, helps lead sessions, and is a voice for immigrant families and youth.

This is a paid opportunity. We'll share the details of compensation when we talk with you during screening.

Because this is a letter of intent, the project is in the very early stages and may not be invited for a full proposal or funded.
