1. Generating and sharing new knowledge.
2. Training outstanding investigators, with an emphasis on people from underrepresented groups.
3. Educating students, trainees, faculty, and communities.
4. Engaging with diverse communities in this work.
5. Applying knowledge to maximize its impact on practice and policy.
