In the MIRT 2019 Summer Newsletter, we interview Massachusetts State Representative Jonathan Santiago (MIRT 2003), and include alumni updates from Isabel Morgan (MIRT 2014) and Dr. Ursula Lang (MIRT 2002).

We also share an update on the accomplishments and legacy of the MIRT Program. The NIMHD has elected not to renew our the MIRT Program. Although this is disappointing news, the Harvard MIRT Program has been an exceptional program for 24-years with an impressive track record.

Let us all continue our commitment to addressing health disparities across the globe through research, training, and service.
