This is the second competitive renewal of the IMSD training program at Harvard. The broad aim of the program is to increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing quantitative research careers in Public Health by expanding and supporting graduate training opportunities for underrepresented minorities at the Harvard School of Public Health, an institution dedicated to advancing the public's health through learning, discovery, and communication, and with a particular objective of strengthening health capacities and services to communities. Specific elements of the program include: o Providing a supportive academic environment for underrepresented minority students at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). The program is organized around a theme of quantitative methods for health disparities research. A weekly "grant group" meeting alternates between brown bag discussion groups, formal seminars and professional development seminars o Providing funding for 10 students pursuing graduate degrees at HSPH. Students can be from any department at the School, though four core departments are expected to be involved (Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Environmental Health, and Society, Human Development and Health). o Supporting up to six Harvard undergraduates to participate in the Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences, designed to provide a stimulating and interesting introduction to public health research, o An annual summer workshop on a topic of relevance to health disparities research with the participation of numerous experts from the local and national scientific scene. Our program will be evaluated by Dr Ed Devos, formerly from the Educational Development Center in Boston and now with New England Medical Center. Ongoing annual evaluations suggest that over the 7 years it has been in place, our program has made considerable progress towards achieving our original goals. Our original cohort of students have now graduated and are pursuing successful research careers in academia (at least four are now assistant professors), in the private sector, and in governmental agencies.

这是哈佛大学IMSD培训计划的第二次竞争续约。的广泛目的 计划是增加从事定量研究职业的代表性不足的少数群体的数量 通过扩大和支持代表性不足少数民族的研究生培训机会的公共卫生 哈佛大学公共卫生学院，该机构致力于通过 学习，发现和沟通，并具有增强健康能力的特殊目标 和为社区提供服务。 该程序的具体元素包括： o为哈佛的代表性不足的少数族裔学生提供支持性的学术环境 公共卫生学院（HSPH）。该程序围绕定量方法的主题组织 用于健康差异研究。每周一次的“赠款小组”会议在棕色包之间交替 讨论小组，正式研讨会和专业发展研讨会 o为在HSPH攻读研究生学位的10名学生提供资金。学生可以来自任何 学校的部门，尽管预计将参与四个核心部门（生物统计学， 流行病学，环境健康与社会，人类发展与健康）。 o最多支持六名哈佛大学的本科生参加定量的夏季计划 科学旨在为公共卫生研究提供刺激且有趣的介绍， o与健康差异研究有关的年度夏季研讨会 当地和国家科学领域的众多专家的参与。 我们的计划将由前波士顿教育发展中心的Ed Devos博士评估 现在在新英格兰医疗中心。正在进行的年度评估表明，在7年中 已经到位了，我们的计划在实现我们的原始目标方面取得了长足的进步。我们的 原始学生现在已经毕业并正在从事学术界的成功研究职业 （现在至少有四个是助理教授），在私营部门和政府机构。
