Child Care Aware® of America, our nation’s leading voice for child care, works with more than 450 state and local Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies to ensure that families in every local community have access to quality, affordable child care.
Child Care Aware of America is committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. Our mission is to advance a child care system that effectively serves all children and families. Joining our efforts provides a powerful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of families and to advocate for the approximately 1.5 million child care providers in the United States. The child care workforce is 94% women; 40% people of color; and 22% foreign-born. And despite the invaluable service they provide, 36.7% of them live below 200% of the federal poverty line. Join CCAoA to help us realize our vision that every family in the United States has access to a high-quality, affordable child care system.
Summary of Position: The Research department at Child Care Aware® of America is seeking a motivated, full-time undergraduate (or graduate) intern to work remotely for 10-20 hours per week for the Spring 2022 semester. The intern will have the opportunity to learn and enhance research skills while working closely with Child Care Aware® of America research staff to analyze socio-spatial intersections of poverty, nutrition, food access, and child care.

Project Description
My NASA Data seeks an intern to develop resources using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with remotely-sensed data to promote understanding of Earth system phenomena for students and teachers in grades 3-12. This opportunity is intended for individuals who are interested in practical applications of remote sensing and GIS, specifically in the field of Earth Science. My NASA Data currently provides GIS resources (i.e., storymaps and web apps) that focus on regional, national, and global Earth System Science phenomena while utilizing NASA’s Earth observations. This internship will help to build and improve the resources in this collection. The scope of this internship includes but is not limited to: evaluating and improving upon existing My NASA Data visualizations using ESRI ArcGIS Online Storymap tool based on teacher feedback researching and gathering information for the creation of ESRI storymaps and interactive models working with NASA Earth data through the NASA Earth Science Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) and other data sources creating new interactive models for teachers and students in grades 3-12 within the framework Next Generation Science Standards developing support materials for classroom implementation Applicants must have experience developing storymaps and web apps using ArcGIS and remotely sensed data, as well as exhibit excellent communication and writing skills, and be able to work in a fast-paced (virtual) environment.
The individual should have the following skills: General experience with GIS tools and/or procedures. Expertise in mapping data formats and tools. Geosciences. Ability to work and be accountable in a highly productive team. Ability and self-discipline to work in a virtual environment. Able to collaborate with multiple individuals at varying levels. Possess strong time management skills. Have organizational skills and strategies. Possess strong writing and verbal skills. Possess a disposition for communication and cooperation. Analytical. Creative. Data-literate. Computer-literate. Requires a degree in STEM field or seeking a degree in STEM field. Prior experience with developing geospatial products particularly using remotely-sensed data is a must. Degree in Earth Sciences preferred.

Attention Multiracial Young Adults!
Are your parents from two or more different racial backgrounds?
We
are holding 2-hour online focus groups with multiracial young adults
(18–25 years old) about factors related to alcohol and other drug use.
Participants will receive $30 for participation.
To be eligible for this study, you must be between the ages of 18 and 25 years old and identify as multiracial, biracial, mixed-race, or as having parents from two or more racial backgrounds.
For
more information and to see if you are eligible, please see the
attached flyer or contact Tessa Nalven, M.A. and her study team at
401-379-2295 or study.multiracial@gmail.com.
This research has been approved by the University of Rhode Island (URI) Institutional Review Board (IRB).
This project is supervised by Principal Investigator Dr. Nichea Spillane.
On Thursday, October 28, at 3:45-5:00 pm, this week's seminar will feature Dr. Shachak Peeri, Division Chief of NOAA Office of Coast Survey. He will give a talk on Operations and research at NOAA's Office of Coast Survey. Please see the text below for connection details and abstract. The talk will be on Zoom.
Abstract: NOAA's Coast Survey Development Lab (NOAA/NOS/OCS) is the Office of Coast Survey's division in charge of technical support and development services for ocean mapping, coastal and ocean modeling, charting sources and other applications that require DevOps and IT support. This seminar provides an opportunity to have a "meet and greet" presentation between the department and the lab. I will briefly present the lab's recent efforts in fields of ocean mapping, coastal modeling, uncrewed systems, and how the lab's projects and activities aligns with current NOAA strategic plans, and what metrics and processes are used in transition of applied science projects into operations.
