This innovative program will place a strong emphasis on mentoring, applying competencies and curriculum specifically focused on chronic disease disparities, and working with a diverse set of partners. Scholars are enrolled in the program for two years.

Key activities include:

  • The IS-2 Institute in St. Louis, MO (in-person or virtual depending upon public health conditions): The Institute brings together expert faculty and scholars in an active learning environment informed by previous training programs, core D&I competencies and training needs. Learn more.
  • Ongoing Mentorship: Following on-site training, Scholars will engage in regular and ongoing mentoring and networking activities with our Faculty.

Application Process

Please note, the current funding mechanism for IS-2 supports three cohorts, which have been selected. We will not be enrolling additional cohorts in the near term.
