There are four purposes for the curriculum development initiative, which is one significant method by which BUILD PODER is sustaining our CRT influence at a structural level: (1) developing upper division advanced research methods courses in biomedically-relevant areas, broadly defined, to serve as BUILD PODER advanced courses, (2) developing Public Health for Social Justice courses at pipeline partner community colleges, (3) developing courses that link Critical Race Theory to biomedical topics and careers, and (4) developing courses in health equity and social justice.
