Hello everyone. I am Vinay Kalva, and I live in Rockville, Maryland (northwest of Washington, D.C.). I am an undergraduate sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying public health and political science, and I want to become a physician (although I'm thinking about alternatives as well).
I want to participate in the forum because I see that I can engage well on many of the key cause areas, especially with regards to global health. I haven't engaged much with EA previously, although I have read the 80000 Hours Career Guide and will be taking the "Introduction to Effective Altruism" course offered next month. I also want to find out alternative career options where I can make a high impact directly.
If you would like to reach out, please see my Linkedin here.
I want to write a post about a framework to improve intervention research broadly. I imagine there is a lot of content about this subject already, but I am curious. I hope to learn more about this area by writing about it, and I would appreciate getting some input from anyone who is involved in doing intervention research. (Also, although my interests lie mainly in global health, I want to know about intervention research in other fields as well.)
As I am new to the Forum, I would appreciate being sent to any posts on the subject of intervention research that already exist, so that I don't write something repetitive.
