The goal of this course is to help graduate students in public health and health sciences write effective grant proposals with a specific focus on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant funding mechanisms and requirements. We will cover all aspects of the proposal-writing process from Identifying a Topic and Choosing the Right Funding Source continuing through the grant proposal section by section. Fellowship Grants and Career Development Awards, targeted for doctoral and postdoctoral students, will be covered. The Submission and Resubmission process will be reviewed.

The Practicum offers MPH students the opportunity to design a unique experience and apply the theories, principles and methods presented in the Public Health Core to address very real public health concerns. This course, together with SPHHS 698S, satisfies the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) requirements for the MPH Applied Practice Experience.

This course is designed to give you an integrated introduction to epidemiology and biostatistics. These two disciplines are closely related and together they provide public health workers with the skills needed to investigate disease and determine its effects in the population, and what its possible causes may be, as well as how to generate and evaluate evidence that will help with these goals. We will be working in a hands-on way to learn to use the tools of epidemiology and biostatistics to describe populations, estimate the impact of disease, and evaluate the effects of exposures.

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to graduate level public health practice through a health equity lens. Together with SPHHS 615, this course will allow you to grapple with important questions of racism, justice and health to understand the many complex factors that contribute to the health of our nation and its peoples. You will be encouraged to think about the ways in which you will accomplish the mission of public health (i.e., assuring the conditions in which everyone can be healthy) through critical self-reflection of your own perspectives on the health of the population.
