  • Assume leadership roles in the initiation of scientific investigations about phenomena that occur among ethnic/minority populations;
  • Expand psychiatric/mental health literature about minority populations across the life span, and
  • Function as members of interdisciplinary research and treatment teams with the intent of improving the mental health status of ethnic/minority populations.
