Q1: I was awarded Travel Support to attend an International Conference held in Washington. But, I could not attend the conference due to a delay in getting Visa. Can I use the above support to attend another conference to be held in July 2017?

A1: No. The support given to one event cannot be used to attend another. The Applicant should apply fresh to seek support for another event.

Q2: Do I need to A) book my air tickets with Air India only or any other specific airline and B) Who will provide the certificate for "Lowest Available Fare"?

A2A: There is no specific airline that needs to be preferred while making your travel reservations. The air tickets are to be booked in economy class at "Lowest Available Fare" on the date of booking. The tickets need to be purchased from any of the two authorized agents viz. i) M/s Balmer Lawrie & Company Limited (BLCL) and ii) M/s Ashoka Travels and Tours(ATT). Bookings through any other agency will not be considered for reimbursement. A2B: While booking your air tickets from any of the two authorized agents viz. i) M/s Balmer Lawrie & Company Limited (BLCL) and ii) M/s Ashoka Travels and Tours (ATT), request them to provide the required certificate.

Q3: What precautions should I take while booking the tickets?

A3: It is advised to book the air tickets only after the issuance of the visa and to keep the validity dates of the visa to avoid deboarding at the airport due to visa validity issues. Visa should be valid on the date when you are boarding the flight. Please make sure that you have a transit visa or other valid documents while booking the tickets and make sure to book tickets at the lowest available fare at the time of booking.

Q4: I have availed of travel support earlier under this scheme and the three years have not been completed (one month is left) yet. I want to apply for another conference now. Am I eligible?

A4: No. You should have completed three years. The duration of three years will be counted from the date of start of the last conference to the date of start of the conference which you intend to apply now.

Q5: What are the criteria for awarding travel support?

A5: The SERB receives a large number of applications. The selection is made based on many parameters. The most important of them is the track record of the applicant as evidenced by the list of publications in SCI journals during the last 5 years and also the importance of the conference. The Committee tries to accommodate candidates from different institutions and different categories (young researchers, women and senior researchers) within the available resources.

A6: No. The scientific event should have an international character. Invitation of personal nature such as carrying out post-doctoral work, informal training programmes/courses, internship, observer-ship etc. will not be eligible for support.

Q11: My conference starts on June 5, 2017, and I have booked my tickets accordingly. Now I want to reschedule my journey and Airlines are asking for additional charges for rescheduling the tickets. Will SERB provide additional charges?

Doctoral graduate combines economics with health policy to advance health equity

April 29, 2024  | Erin Bluvas,  [email protected]

“My journey in public health began with a deep-rooted interest in health equity,” says Dakshu Jindal , who graduates in May with a Ph.D. in Health Services Policy and Management (HSPM). “This was driven by my upbringing in India, where I witnessed stark disparities in health care access.”

Jindal studied economics at the University of Delhi (bachelor’s) and Indira Gandhi National Open University (master’s). During her graduate program, she began consulting for India’s National Health Systems Resource Center at the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Her three years at the center exposed Jindal to health policy, including the nuances of financing health in a complex nation like India. She also began to realize how improvements in policy can positively impact health systems and communities. An internship in the Philippines through the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced her to financing and policy in a global setting. Together, these experiences cemented Jindal’s commitment to completing a doctoral degree in the field.

“USC offered an incredibly unique program in health services policy and management ,” she says. “The department had diverse faculty and an inclination toward use of economics to conduct health services research. I strongly felt that I could leverage my academic background in economics and interest in public health to succeed in the program.”

At the Arnold School, Jindal gained research experience as a graduate assistant on projects within her department and at the Center for Community Health Alignment (CCHA). She found mentors in her dissertation co-chairs, Brian Chen and John Brooks , as well as CCHA executive director Julie Smithwick .

“Dr. Chen always motivated me to perform my best and expect more from my work, and Dr. Brooks always stressed the importance of the implications of my study results, which pushed me to be a better health services researcher,” says the Norman J. Arnold Fellow, who received guidance and support from Nicole Hair and Adam Lutz as well. “I have worked with Ms. Smithwick for five years, conducting research on the implementation and effectiveness of community health workers programs, and she has been a great mentor.”

Outside of the Arnold School, Jindal was selected into USC’s Preparing Future Faculty Program and received a SPARC grant from the Office of the Vice President for Research to support her dissertation research into how state laws influence access to physical therapy among Medicare patients. Her dozen or so publications cover various topics, but the theme of her research is how different laws, policies or programs impact health outcomes.

“I aim to leverage my expertise in health economics to explore research studies that improve health care outcomes and access,” Jindal says of her next steps. “By collaborating with stakeholders across sectors, I want to contribute meaningfully to the field of public health and advance health equity for all.”

University of Massachusetts Amherst: SPHHS Announces 2024 Research Day Award Winners

The  School of Public Health and Health Sciences  (SPHHS) held its annual Research Day on April 17 in the Campus Center Auditorium. Now in its 27 th  year, SPHHS Research Day is a showcase for the research and practice conducted by students in all of its departments. Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, are invited to present their work to faculty, staff, peers and the broader community.

This year’s event included two separate sessions comprised of a total of 102 poster presentations. Participants spanned all departments and academic levels – including undergraduate, master’s and doctoral presenters – and served to highlight the depth and breadth of SPHHS student research. The day’s program also featured a keynote talk from biostatistics alumnus Mark Chang ’98 M.S., Ph.D. and faculty presentations by Christine St. Laurent, Song Liang and Chaoran Ma.

“Yesterday’s event was spectacular,” says Anna Maria Siega-Riz, SPHHS dean. “The enormous participation by our students and faculty exceeded our expectations. It was an amazing display of the far-ranging research being done in the school by our faculty and the students who they are mentoring in their labs. I know that this type of mentoring and excellence in research takes time and, for many faculty, it is this passion that keeps them here.”

“Research Day 2024 was a great showcase for the outstanding work of students and faculty mentors in SPHHS, and the incredible diversity of research all aimed at addressing health and wellbeing,” adds Brian Whitcomb, SPHHS associate dean of research. “Many thanks to the students – over 102! – who presented their work at the event. Thanks and gratitude, also, to members of the Research Committee, faculty judges and SPHHS staff whose contributions to organization and coordination were critical to the success of this year’s ambitious, exciting, expanded program.”

The student presenters participated in a faculty-juried poster session based on content and presentation. This year, SPHHS awarded a total of eight prizes: travel awards for best presentation in health sciences and in public health; three graduate student research awards; and three undergraduate student research awards.
