项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The IMSD (Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity) Program at the Harvard School of Public Health is designed to maximize the number of under-represented minority students pursuing quantitative research careers in health disparities. The overall goals of our training program are to: 1. Maximize pre-doctoral student diversity at the Harvard School of Public Health by recruiting and supporting 10 students per year from four Departments (Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Environmental Health, and Society, Human Development and Health), in order to- 2. Equip students with population health theories and methods to undertake research on health disparities; 3. Provide mentorship in career development, skills, and competencies; 4. Strengthen the "pipeline" within the institution - as well as nationally - for minority students to transition from pre-doctoral to post-doctoral fellowships, and eventually to faculty positions; and 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of the program following a defined set of objectives and criteria. Our focus on the theme of health disparities is consistent with the NIH-wide emphasis on health disparities research, as well as with one of the key missions of the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), which is to understand -- and to intervene on -- the causes of health disparities. Within the institution, the IMSD training grant serves as a critical link in the "pipeline" of under- represented minority students that the Harvard School of Public Health has sought to build for over a decade. The links in this pipeline begin with the active recruitment of promising students through the efforts of the Office of Diversity and the Admissions Office. Following completion of pre-doctoral training within the IMSD program, the pipeline then extends to postdoctoral training programs at Harvard including the Kellogg Health Scholars in Minority Health Disparities and the Alonzo Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship, which aim to maximize the transition of minority post-doctoral fellows to junior faculty positions. Doctoral students supported though the IMSD training grant are trained in their own disciplinary area, but also receive additional training in theories and methods relevant to health disparities research. This is accomplished through participation in weekly seminars and close working relationships with faculty mentors. In addition to training in research, students in the program also receive training in a set of core competencies essential for public health, including grant writing, publishing in the peer- reviewed literature, effective public presentations, and the responsible conduct of research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: While the nation has witnessed impressive gains in improving overall health, some Americans face much poorer prospects for good health than others. There is a critical need to equip a new generation of scholars with the theories and quantitative methods to analyze - and intervene on - the problem of health disparities in this country. The mission of the IMSD training program at the Harvard School of Public Health is to train a new generation of pre-doctoral students from under-represented minority backgrounds to become future leaders in the field of health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：哈佛大学公共卫生学院的 IMSD（最大化学生多样性倡议）项目旨在最大限度地增加在健康差异方面从事定量研究职业的少数族裔学生的数量。我们培训计划的总体目标是： 1. 通过每年从四个系（流行病学、生物统计学、环境健康、社会、人类发展与健康）招募和支持 10 名学生，最大限度地提高哈佛公共卫生学院博士前学生的多样性，以便： 2. 为学生提供人口健康理论和方法，以开展健康差异研究； 3. 提供职业发展、技能和能力方面的指导； 4. 加强机构内以及全国范围内少数民族学生从博士前奖学金过渡到博士后奖学金并最终过渡到教职的“渠道”； 5. 根据一组明确的目标和标准评估计划的有效性。我们对健康差异这一主题的关注与 NIH 范围内对健康差异研究的重视是一致的，也符合哈佛公共卫生学院 (HSPH) 的关键使命之一，即了解并干预健康差异的原因。在该机构内，IMSD 培训补助金是哈佛公共卫生学院十多年来一直寻求建立的代表性不足的少数族裔学生“渠道”中的关键一环。这一渠道的各个环节首先是通过多元化办公室和招生办公室的努力积极招募有前途的学生。在IMSD项目内完成博士前培训后，该管道随后延伸至哈佛大学的博士后培训项目，包括少数族裔健康差异中的凯洛格健康学者和阿隆佐·耶比博士后奖学金，其目的是最大限度地促进少数族裔博士后研究员向初级教员职位的过渡。虽然IMSD培训补助金支持的博士生在自己的学科领域接受培训，但也接受与健康差异研究相关的理论和方法的额外培训。这是通过参加每周的研讨会以及与教师导师的密切工作关系来实现的。除了研究培训外，该项目的学生还接受一系列对公共卫生至关重要的核心能力培训，包括资助写作、发表同行评审文献、有效的公开演讲以及负责任的研究行为。公共卫生相关性：虽然美国在改善整体健康方面取得了令人瞩目的成就，但一些美国人的健康前景比其他人要差得多。迫切需要为新一代学者提供理论和定量方法来分析和干预该国的健康差距问题。哈佛大学公共卫生学院 IMSD 培训项目的使命是培养来自少数族裔背景的新一代博士前学生，使其成为健康差异领域的未来领导者。
