    Outstanding internship opportunities exist in the Cedars Sinai Cancer Research Center for Health Equity (CRCHE) to gain knowledge and experience in clinical research related to obesity, diabetes and cancer.

    CRCHE aims to conduct research and community outreach to reduce health disparities in underserved populations. Within the Cancer Research Center for Health Equity, Dr.

    Sarah-Jeanne Salvy is the Principal Investigator of several funded clinical and community-based research projects focusing on (1) Scalable, sustainable and cost-effective obesity interventions and prevention programs; (2) Social determinants and social regulation of behavioral and physiological markers; and (3) Intergenerational transmission of health and disease risks and family-centered interventions.

    Dr. Salvy has spearheaded funded trials spanning multisystemic dietary and physical activity interventions that can be widely disseminated and sustained.

    This work includes (1) the integration of obesity prevention within Maternal and Child Health Services in Southern California and Central Alabama (R01HD092483-A1; U54MD000502); (2) the use of intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating in cancer, obesity and diabetes (R01CA258222; DoDPR172125), and (3) the evaluation of innovative environmental and self-regulatory strategies to optimize health outcomes in pediatric and adult populations (Hope Warschaw CIRCL award; E-health International Inc; Helmsley Charitable Trust Fund; R01DK130851 [Pending]).


    Role Summary & Objectives
    The goal of the internship is for students to gain knowledge and experience in weight management clinical trial. Successful completion of the project is expected to result in at least one peer-reviewed publication and/or poster presentation.

    At the initiation of the project, the intern will meet with Dr. Salvy and other senior research staff to outline a timeline, mentoring plan, and set milestones for assessing ongoing progress. Dr. Salvy will continue to meet monthly to monitor progress and facilitate ongoing learning goals. The intern will also meet with Dr. Salvy and the research team during weekly meetings to plan for ongoing activities.

    The intern is expected to spend a minimum of six (6) months and preferably 12 months engaged in research-related activities.

    Dr.

    Salvy will provide background literature and engage in one-on-one discussions to familiarize the intern with the clinical significance of the project.
