Research

The College of Public Health is home to 20 interdisciplinary centers and fosters a vibrant, multidisciplinary research program. CPH investigators secured $40 million in external funding for public health research in fiscal year 2020.

A special emphasis is given to rural public health issues, including agricultural safety and health, environmental health, global public health, occupational health, zoonotic infectious disease, health and aging, community-based nutrition and childhood obesity prevention, and organization of health care in rural settings.

Students may qualify for research assistantships, take part in research-based internships or practicum experiences, or conduct original research as part of their studies.
