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）：该IMSD在哥伦比亚邮政公共卫生学院的目的是增加接受公共卫生博士学位培训的学生的多样性，并为关注那些在健康方面差异的群体而促进公共卫生研究。该倡议支持哥伦比亚大学公共卫生学院的任何部门学习计划，共有8名博士生。具体而言，该计划的目标是：（1）增加邮政公共卫生学院博士课程中代表性不足的学生的数量；特别重点将放在历史上少数族裔学生入学率低的部门上，这将导致研究机构的多样性大幅提高； （2）发展学生的奖学金和赠款技巧； （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，该环境强调了代表性不足的学生的优势和能力，以及种族多样性在研究和科学中的价值； （5）发展学生的教学技能，并创造机会从事教学； （6）增强了代表性不足的学生的及时完成博士研究。将进行许多发展活动，以增强学生的研究技能和发展。其中包括一个研讨会课程，为研究生院，研究方法，统计分析，科学写作，研究职业和专业发展的技术和应对策略提供了研讨会；研究位置的特征是与研究导师的牢固指导关系；教学经验；参加科学会议；量身定制的咨询计划；和基于网络的虚拟资源中心。可以预计，毕业后，完成此IMSD计划的学生将进入学术和研究的职业。 公共卫生相关性：认识到需要多样化的劳动力来解决该国最紧迫的公共卫生问题，Healthy Peopal 2010建议采取各种策略来解决代表人数不足的群体在追求研究生水平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一个教育项目来回应此电话。我们计划的最终目的是建立一群研究人员，他们的工作将有助于解决美国的健康差异。
