Department of Population Health Section for Health Equity, NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Data – a critical first link to the continuum of research, resource allocation and policymaking – describing the health of Asian American (AA), Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NH&PI) was sorely deficient in pre-COVID times and this deficiency has only been magnified during COVID. Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, we have learned more about the AA and NH&PI COVID experience from community partners, social and mass media, and other countries (e.g., United Kingdom) than from the published scientific literature base in the United States. This blind spot towards AAs and NH&PIs as a community of color deserving of attention and resources reflects implicit bias in the scientific community and society at large.Read more
“Toxic Equilibrium: Structural Racism and Population Health Inequities”
The American social structure is composed of a resilient, symbiotic network of the formal and informal institutions that operate to maintain an equilibrium toward White privilege. Across time and place, changes in one institution can reverberate through other institutions, and importantly, when we attempt to intervene toward equity in one institution, other institutions can move to restore this toxic equilibrium. Cultural racism, which encompasses the socially accepted ideologies, values, and behavioral norms determined by the dominant power group, sets this equilibrium. Particularly insidious as it operates on the level of our shared social subconscious, the processes that comprise cultural racism are invisible to many because they are our “givens”, our assumptions, our defaults – but the result shapes our answers to the question: Whose life counts?

NIH offers a series of career development awards (i.e., K awards) for scholars at different career stages to develop new skills and knowledge to support. At the early career stage (i.e., post-doctoral, junior faculty), NIH offers both the K01 and K99/R00 awards that support substantial portions of scholar salaries for up to five years, protected time to develop these new skills and knowledge. However, there are many misconceptions about what these awards are (and what they are not) and how to prepare a strong application. IAPHS presents an interdisciplinary panel of scholars who have successfully secured either K01 or K99/R00 awards from a wide range of NIH institutes. Panelists will discuss how they decided to apply for this type of award, how they developed their applications, and how they have used this award to advance their careers. This webinar is open to IAPHS members and non-members; an archived recording will be available to IAPHS members only.

“Health Care – Population Health Science Partnerships: What Can and Can’t They Do”
The growing interest in population health approaches among health care entities is creating new opportunities for partnerships between health care systems and population health science. This webinar examines the potential, as well as the challenges and limitations, of these partnerships for advancing population health and equity. Organized and moderated by Sara Curran (University of Washington) and Chris Bachrach (University of Maryland).

“Understanding Interdisciplinary Career Paths in Population Health”
The IAPHS Student Committee is pleased to announce its new three-part training series “Launching a Career as an Interdisciplinary Scholar: A Training Series.” As a collaborative, cross-disciplinary population health organization, IAPHS is uniquely positioned to guide the next generation of population health scholars. The organization’s leadership and members bring a wealth of knowledge and training based on their graduate school experiences, post-graduate professional appointments, and current roles as mentors and supervisors. These experiences provide key insight into the methodological skills, substantive knowledge bases, and professional activities that are most valuable to the development of excellent population health scholars. Furthermore, these diverse experiences provide key insights into the nuances of navigating career paths and opportunities in population health.
The content of this event will focus on highlighting careers across all sectors, including government, industry, non-profits, and academia. Panelists will reflect on the highlights and difficulties of their training, career, and advice to young population health scientists.
Members of all organizations at any level of training (predoctoral, postdoctoral, or faculty) are welcome to participate! This is a moderated event, but attendees will have the opportunity to pose their own original questions to panelists.

“Balancing health and economic considerations in COVID-19 responses: Dilemmas and opportunities for population health”
The current COVID-19 pandemic has had major negative impacts on both health and economic conditions and has amplified existing health and economic disparities. This has raised many questions and debates about how to balance health and economic considerations in our responses to the pandemic. Join us as we convene an interdisciplinary panel to discuss dilemmas and opportunities for promoting population health in the time of COVID-19.
