Overview

The Health Promotion & Resiliency Intervention Research (HPRIR) Institute, a joint initiative of the Mongan Institute and the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), seeks to hire a full-time Project Manager to manage research trials focused on health promotion and resiliency in a range of health populations. This position will primarily focus on two newly funded research trials designed to enhance the well-being of lymphoma cancer survivors.

HPRIR focuses on harnessing the strengths of interdisciplinary behavioral health services research to enhance health, wellness, and resiliency. Our research teams develop, assess, implement, and disseminate innovative health promotion and resiliency treatments and models of care delivery. The main goal of our program is to promote the development of accessible evidence-based interventions focused on resiliency, prevention, and survivorship.

Examples of our work include: conducting behavioral delivery science research that enhances healthcare access and utilization; assessing mind-body resiliency interventions adapted for patients, providers, and vulnerable or underserved community populations; and developing psychosocial and behavioral treatments that are accessible, sustainable, and integrated into healthcare systems.
