PPIA is a national program that prepares young adults for an advanced degree and ultimately for careers and influential roles serving the public good. PPIA has an outreach focus on students from groups who are underrepresented in leadership positions in government, nonprofits, international organizations and other institutional settings. This focus stems from a core belief that our citizens are best served by public managers, policy makers and community leaders who represent diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Furthermore, international affairs are increasingly mixed with local concerns. Addressing such global issues make diversity a critical goal in professional public service. It is required that one must specifically demonstrate involvement in working to improve historically underserved or underrepresented communities, including African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/as, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders.

The training seminar strives, in an interdisciplinary setting, to: (1) enrich students’ understanding of important research topics and design/ methodological issues and to expand their research skill set; (2) further develop students' ability to critically evaluate their own research and that of their peers and other researchers; and (3) assist students in preparing for the dissemination of their research. These goals are achieved through meetings
