Its goal is to improve health by training scholars to:

investigate rigorously the connections among biological, genetic, behavioral, environmental, economic and social determinants of health; and

develop, evaluate and disseminate knowledge and interventions that integrate and act on these determinants to improve health.

The program is intended to produce leaders who will change the questions asked, the methods employed to analyze problems, and the range of solutions to reduce population health disparities and improve the health of all Americans. Call for proposals
