The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has requested an 
expedited knowledge synthesis that will bring clarity to the concept of 
Health in All Policies (HiAP) and guide a health and health equity agenda 
across Ontario ministries. A key goal of HiAP is the reduction of health 
inequalities through structures, mechanisms and actions planned and 
managed mainly by sectors other than health, where health determinants are 
framed as the bridge between policies and health outcomes. Our team at St. 
Michael's Hospital and the Centre for Research on Inner City Health has 
proposed conducting a scoping review of the relevant bodies of published 
and unpublished evidence related to HiAP. The deliverables of this work 
will be: (1) a report on the evidence base for HiAP, and (2) a stakeholder 
workshop to review the findings and implications of the report.

As part of this project, we seek to hire up to 3 full-time Research 
Coordinators to assist the study coordinator and study investigators in 
the scoping review process over an expedited, 3-month period (May - July 
2010). Specific duties and responsibilities will include:

-Conduct in-depth interviews with key stakeholders (e.g., researchers, 
information specialists, policy-makers)
-Assist in the search, retrieval and review of relevant literature 
(published and unpublished/grey)
-Summarize the results of the interviews and literature succinctly yet 
comprehensively
-Assist in information management and qualitative data coding

Qualifications:

-Bachelor's degree in the social or health sciences or a combination of 
relevant education and experience
-Demonstrated experience conducting qualitative interviews, specifically 
with government policy-makers and other professionals 
-Superior interpersonal, organizational and communication skills 
-Understanding of the determinants of health 
-Computer and data management skills with proficiency in MS Office (Word, 
Excel, PowerPoint)
-Ability to work independently and in a team setting

Salary: $23.76 hourly
