Strategic Plan
Goal 1
Prepare the next generation of public health leaders through rigorous educational programs and robust student support services
Implement a unique educational vision that addresses “big data,” emphasizing high dimensional data analysis, computational modeling and simulation, neuroimaging, statistical genetics, and comparative effectiveness research
Augment student experiences, including the implementation of a statistical genetics certificate, greater interaction with the Public Health Dynamics Laboratory, and increased linkages to behavioral and health services research programs
Recruit a diverse spectrum of students and equip them to make substantial scientific and professional contributions
Goal 2
Expand knowledge in the field of public health through scientific inquiry and innovation
Be leaders within the University and externally in “big data” through the development and application of novel biostatistical methods
Create a vital research environment via a departmental program for scientific collaboration and review, and provision of administrative and technical resources
Develop faculty through improved mentoring to increase high-impact publications, external service, and awards received
Increase the intellectual and professional productivity of students, and maintain contact with our alumni throughout their careers
Goal 3
Advance the health of populations across the lifespan through faculty service, in cooperation with partners at the regional, national, and global levels
Develop innovative linkages with private and public organizations and agencies requiring biostatistical support for local, national, and international public health initiatives
Provide training for faculty in the professional skills required for effective policy advocacy and actively support their participation in advisory and scientific capacities
Goal 4
Secure adequate resources and promote operations effectiveness
Develop a state-of-the-art information technology infrastructure
Develop a formal departmental marketing program, including an improved Web site, recruitment materials, newsletter, and annual report
