Most postsecondary institutions in the state of Alaska (USA) have a broad mission to serve diverse students, many whom come from schools rural villages that are accessible only by plane, boat, or snowmobile. The major research university, University Fairbanks (UAF), serves population whereby 40% groups recognized as underrepresented biomedical workforce. purpose this article is describe Building Infrastructure Leading Diversity (BUILD)-supported program seeks engage students areas with...

This commentary suggests some ways which epidemiology inform how be backtranslated so that epidemiological studies are designed better design. The does by...
