The University of Michigan is conducting a research study focused on healthy relationships and sex trafficking prevention among high school students in Des Moines Public Schools. The study is called Project LIVE (see below). We are hiring a temporary Data Management Advisor to support this work on an hourly basis.

Using a five-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers and community partners will collaborate to deliver the READY to Stand Curriculum to high school students and school personnel in Des Moines, Iowa. The project aims to prevent sex trafficking in Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS). This will be achieved, in part, by increasing students skills for healthy relationships, and by helping students identify personal safeguards to enable them to act if they feel unsafe. The curriculum, developed by The Set Me Free Project, was implemented in Des Moines high schools beginning in 2023, and will later expand to reach students in six additional high schools.
