Student Research

Our students are vital to the research happening at the School of Public Health. They partake in original research, lead studies, and assist faculty on national and international projects, sometimes receiving University-based or national grants, scholarships, and fellowships to help support their work.

Student research can shape new policies and open eyes to unrecognized public health problems.
