Eliminating health and education disparities affecting Latino communities
At the Latino Research & Policy Center, we're empowering students in Latino health and health policy.
Who we are
The Latino Research & Policy Center (LRPC) is part of the
Department of Community and Behavioral Health at the Colorado
School of Public Health. Our goals are: to work together with students to reduce the disparities
that affect Latino communities; to increase collaborative partnerships
with community-based organizations, academic institutions, and
state/city elected officials; and to work toward eliminating the health
and education disparities affecting Latino communities in Denver, in
Colorado, and beyond.
What we do
Research
We study health disparities affecting Latino communities in Colorado, the United States, and beyond.
Education
We train students to identify important gaps in Latino public health issues and implement successful interventions.
Policy
We collaborate with community organizations, academic institutions, and elected officials to change policies.
This scholarship is supported by the National Institutes of Health’s Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD). It was created to help integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) into the Certificate in Latino Health program by building connections between students and potential mentors working in AI/ML and offering electives to enhance AI/ML skills.
Thanks to AIM-AHED funding, our center offers this scholarship for students to enroll in the Certificate in Latino Health.
