The Diabetes Alliance, which operates within the Centre for Studies in Family Medicine, is a dynamic, wholly grant-funded research initiative led by Dr. Stewart Harris. The Diabetes Alliance is defined by three distinct research programs: Clinical Trials, Community-driven Indigenous Research, and Hypoglycemia with a mission is to improve the health and health equity of people with diabetes by developing and evaluating strategies to improve healthcare quality and delivery.

- Summarize data analysis results for a variety of audiences (academic conferences, industry partner meetings, and other audiences)
- Understand the epidemiologic and clinical implications of the study outcomes, from the perspectives of both statistical and substantive significance, as well as contributions of the work to the existing evidence base.

**Education**:
A Master’s degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, or its equivalent

**Experience**:
Minimum of 2 years experience with quantitative data management and statistical analysis.
