DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this IMSD at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health is to increase the diversity of students who receive doctoral training in public health and contribute to public health research focusing on those groups that experience disparities in health. The initiative supports a total of 8 doctoral students enrolled in any of the departmental programs of study at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University. Specifically, the goals of the program are to: (1) increase the number of underrepresented students in the doctoral programs of the Mailman School of Public Health; special emphasis will be placed on departments with historically low enrollment of minority students, which will result in a significant increase in the diversity of the study body; (2) develop students' scholarship and grant-writing skills; (3) develop other research and professional skills by involving students in research and scientific activities; (4) create an environment that stresses underrepresented students' strengths and competencies, and the value of ethnic diversity in research and science; (5) develop students' teaching skills and create opportunities to engage in teaching; (6) enhance the timely completion of doctoral study among underrepresented students. A number of developmental activities will be undertaken to strengthen students' research skills and development. These include a seminar course that provides workshops on techniques and coping strategies for success in graduate school, research methods, statistical analyses, scientific writing, research career and professional development; research placements characterized by strong mentoring relationships with research mentors; teaching experiences; attendance at scientific conferences; a tailored advisory program; and a web-based virtual resource center. It is anticipated that upon graduation, students who complete this IMSD program will enter academic and research-oriented careers. Public Health Relevance: Recognizing the need for a diverse workforce to address the nation's most pressing public health problems, Healthy People 2010 recommended various strategies to address barriers that underrepresented groups may face in pursuing graduate level education. Our proposed program responds to this call by providing an education project for underrepresented students. The ultimate aim of our program is to create a cadre of researchers whose work will help to address health disparities in the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚梅尔曼公共卫生学院设立该 IMSD 的目的是增加接受公共卫生博士培训的学生的多样性，并为关注健康差异群体的公共卫生研究做出贡献。该计划支持总共 8 名博士生就读于哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院的任何院系课程。具体而言，该计划的目标是：（1）增加梅尔曼公共卫生学院博士课程中代表性不足的学生数量；将特别重视历史上少数民族学生入学率较低的院系，这将导致研究机构的多样性显着增加； (2) 培养学生的奖学金和助学金写作能力； (3) 通过让学生参与研究和科学活动来发展其他研究和专业技能； (4) 创造一个环境，强调代表性不足的学生的优势和能力，以及研究和科学中种族多样性的价值； （5）培养学生的教学技能，创造从事教学的机会； (6) 促进少数学生按时完成博士学习。将开展许多发展活动，以加强学生的研究技能和发展。其中包括研讨会课程，提供关于在研究生院取得成功的技术和应对策略、研究方法、统计分析、科学写作、研究生涯和专业发展的研讨会；研究实习的特点是与研究导师建立牢固的指导关系；教学经验；出席科学会议；量身定制的咨询计划；以及基于网络的虚拟资源中心。预计完成该 IMSD 课程的学生毕业后将进入学术和研究型职业。 公共卫生相关性：认识到需要多元化的劳动力来解决国家最紧迫的公共卫生问题，2010 年健康人民提出了各种策略来解决代表性不足的群体在追求研究生教育时可能面临的障碍。我们提出的计划通过为代表性不足的学生提供教育项目来响应这一号召。我们计划的最终目标是培养一支研究人员队伍，他们的工作将有助于解决美国的健康差距。
