WHAT IS THE PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM?
CDC has established a
Cooperative Agreement with the Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools,
Inc. (HSHPS), to enhance the participation of Hispanics/Latinos in public health. HSHPS is a non-profit organization established in 1996 in response to
Executive Order "Educational Excellence for
Hispanic Americans (EEHA)." The HSHPS currently
represents 22 medical schools with at least 9% Hispanic student enrollment
and three schools of public health with at least 5% student enrollment.
In the future, CDC would
like to expand the internship to increase the number of students and the
times of the year when they can study at CDC. The HSHPS research agenda
will be broadened to increase the number of Hispanic/Latino researchers and the
number of grants successfully awarded from CDC and other agencies to
member institutions; a research clearinghouse will be investigated; and a
publications unit will be initiated. An internal HSHPS Research Review
Committee will be developed to help strengthen HSHPS's
mission. |
