CDC's National Undergraduate Student Program: A Public Health Workplace Experience to Increase Student Interest in Public Health

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) announces the fiscal year (FY) 2011 availability of approximately $3.2 million per year for five (5) years to enhance CDC’s ability to eliminate health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations by supporting national public health workforce development for up to five (5) cooperative agreement awards. These awards will, support a summer program for minority undergraduate students who are under-represented in public health careers and other health professions; a national minority undergraduate student coordination center that will provide support and coordination across the grant recipients in order to allow accomplishment of the overarching program goals; and the James A. Ferguson Emerging Infectious Diseases Fellowship program for graduate minority students. [Note: The term “under-represented” refers to those population groups reported by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) as  severely under-represented among the nation’s health professionals, including African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, many Hispanic/Latino populations, some Asian Americans (e.g., Hmong and other Southeast Asians), Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders.
