Specifically, this position will manage two state-funded projects, the Horyzons and Race and Psychosis Intervention Development (RAPID) projects.

The objective of the RAPID project is to develop a culturally tailored treatment for Black Americans with first-episode psychosis, and involves qualitative interviewing of clients, family members, and clinicians with experiences in dealing with first-episode psychosis. These interviews are then used to inform the development of a culturally tailored treatment manual. The second phase of this NC Department of Health and Human Services-funded project will involve an open pilot trial to implement the interventions outlined in the treatment manual.

Responsibilities for the position will include, but are not limited to, research protocol development, data collection, data management, participant retention, overseeing the laboratory’s undergraduate research assistants, and liaising with the state of North Carolina and the first episode psychosis (FEP) clinics in the state.
