They are awarded an annual sum of up to $30,000 for a maximum of four years. The extensive curriculum covers areas like health equity, policy processes, and leadership, allowing them to continue their studies from their home institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon graduating, scholars are equipped to enact change, applying research and collaborative skills to impact policy positively, leverage diverse research networks, and engage in a national discourse on policy reforms that are integral to the Culture of Health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ph.D. in Education Student Mirvais Mir Aminy: A Rising Scholar<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked about his journey and the motivation behind applying for the fellowship, Mirvais reflected on his lived experiences. \u201cMy encounters with the criminal justice system as a teenager and learning to navigate life with a physical disability has presented challenges,\u201d he stated. Mirvais saw higher education as his lifeline, a way to transcend the obstacles he faced. The HPRS program recognized his dedication and potential, offering him a spot in their seventh cohort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawing from his experience as an Academic Counselor for Project Rebound at California State University Fullerton, Mirvais shed light on the misconceptions surrounding students from the criminal justice system. \u201cThrough my experience, I have found that many students who have experience with the criminal justice system have undiagnosed or misdiagnosed disabilities. It is a population that has been misunderstood in more than one way. With my research in Chapman\u2019s doctoral program, I hope to understand the experiences of formerly incarcerated college students with disabilities and improve counseling techniques for higher education practitioners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mirvais\u2019 alignment with the HPRS program&#8217;s goals stems from his diverse identities. \u201cAs an Afghan American, first-generation college student, refugee, English learner, Muslim, person with a disability, formerly incarcerated person, and adult learner, I have been a huge proponent of equity and access in a just society,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He envisions his research to inform national policy, abolish educational gatekeeping barriers, and bring an end to the school-prison pipeline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Cosier, Mirvais\u2019 advisor for the fellowship program, expressed her pride and enthusiasm. \u201cMirvais\u2019 selection as a Health Policy Research Scholar not only speaks to his academic excellence and commitment to applying his research to build healthier and more equitable communities, it also speaks to the strength of the Ph.D. in Education programs in the Attallah College of Educational Studies and the exceptional Ph.D. students this program attracts. I am honored to serve as Mirvais\u2019 advisor throughout his time in the Health Policy Research Scholars program.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About the Health Policy Research Scholars Program<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Health Policy Research Scholars (HPRS) program is a unique initiative designed for second-year full-time doctoral students. Supporting individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in various doctoral disciplines, the program aims to nurture a new generation of leaders. The goal of HPRS is to cultivate transformational leaders from diverse backgrounds with doctoral training\u2014representing a wide range of research-focused disciplines\u2014who will inform and influence policy toward a Culture of Health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6290 aligncenter\"
