Current Projects

Bridging academic research and actual public health practice is the common thread of any Institute collaboration. Yet, the subject, scope and direction of each project varies greatly. Currently, our work can be grouped into four broad categories: Community Evaluations, Evidence-Based Public Health Practice, Professional Education and Training, and Maternal and Child Health Initiative. Select projects are outlined in detail in our Focus on Current Projects section.

While future projects will likely build upon the skills and expertise already developed within these areas, new focus areas will be explored with enthusiasm and energy as they arise. Read on to learn more about our current experiences.
