The Food as Health Alliance at the University of Kentucky seeks to bring together clinical and community research spanning across agriculture, food, and health to address food insecurity and diet-sensitive chronic disease. Specifically, researchers, clinicians, community partners, food commodity producers, healthcare partners, and students will explore innovative strategies to improve patient clinical outcomes and the health of Kentuckians.

We are pleased to offer several opportunities for students from the College of Medicine, College of Public Health,College of Nursing, and College of Agriculture, Food and Environment to get involved in the Food as Health Alliance research program. Our current research is reviewing the impact of grocery prescription, meal kits, medically tailored meals, and text based motivational prompts on both food security and nutrition related diet outcomes in communities across Kentucky. If you are interested in becoming part of this research, please note the following criteria

• Approximately 5 hours per week (more on a case-by-case basis)
• Remote work only
• Opportunities to submit abstracts and give presentations at local research symposiums and other related events
