**The Ottawa Hospital: Inspired by research. Driven by compassion**
The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is the research arm of The Ottawa Hospital and an affiliated institute of the University of Ottawa.

This project was designed to support people who have immigrated to Canada from China or African/Caribbean countries whose preferred language is French or Mandarin to access vision-protective eye screening that is linguistically and culturally tailored. The research associate will play a central role in evaluating the new Diabetes Eye Screening Ottawa (DESO) program using interviews with staff and surveys with patients to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of this new program.

Primary duties for study 2 would involve conducting interviews with staff and analyzing survey responses from patients, fostering community relationships, and writing up findings. There would also be an opportunity to present at conferences, lead published peer-reviewed outputs, supervise junior staff and trainees, and be involved in the writing of future grants.
