The International Dietary Data Expansion (INDDEX) Project helps low- and middle-income countries make more effective, evidence-based decisions about agriculture, food, nutrition, and health policies and programs.
We do this by providing dietary data collection tools and resources that promote streamlined collection, access and use of high-quality quantitative dietary data. The INDDEX24 Mobile Dietary Survey Solution, created by The INDDEX Project, is a validated tool that gives researchers in low- and middle-income countries a faster and easier way to conduct accurate, actionable, individual-level dietary surveys using the multiple-pass 24-hour recall methodology. In an effort to allow our tool to be more accessible to researchers around the world, we are aiming to make our mobile application available in all UN languages. Therefore, we are seeking Friedman students who are native or have near native-proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic or Russian who, ideally, have a background in food/ nutrition terminology to translate questions from a 24-hour dietary recall survey. This would be a paid opportunity and the rate and time commitment would be negotiated on an individual basis. If interested, please contact Julia Matteson, INDDEX Project Coordinator, at INDDEX@tufts.edu.
