Applicants can hold a Master’s degree in any data-related discipline and must have interest in conducting policy-relevant research that involves large data sets. The research fellow will work with Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (TAF) data and will help the team advance the research goals of an existing R01 grant. This is a full-time, temporary position. The appointment duration will be one-year with the potential for renewal.The project investigates disparities in care among Medicaid beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) between 2016 and 2022. Medicaid covers 25% of Americans with T2DM. T2DM is burdensome and disproportionately impacts vulnerable and disenfranchised populations; of note, there are stark race/ethnic disparities in T2DM care goals, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations. States contract with private (non-profit or for-profit) Medicaid managed care organizations (MMCOs) to lower costs, increase quality, and pass on the financial risks of covering Medicaid beneficiaries. Heterogeneity across and within state programs can affect the quality of T2DM care and, specifically, disparities through benefit generosity or affecting MMCO entry and post-entry behavior. State policymakers also have significant influence over marketplaces where MMCOs compete, which can have consequences for race/ethnic disparities, given that Medicaid disproportionately covers non-white populations. We use data from the TAF representing over 86 million beneficiaries across all states, as well as all insurers, to provide policy-relevant insights into how Medicaid-managed care programs can be designed to reduce disparities in chronic disease burdens.**Additional duties include, but are not limited to:*** Analyze large datasets from CMS and other sources* Construct tables and figures for publications and presentations* Collaborate with PI on research questions and methodology* Serve as data custodian for project and work with project manager on logistics* Collaborate with researchers across different institutions**Work Interactions**The Programmer will work under the supervision of the PI, Maria Alva, PhD, and in cooperation with other project team members (including a graduate student data analyst and professor at a collaborating institution).
