AI for Public Health

ASPPH is on the front lines of AI in academic public health, ensuring our field has a seat at the table in the discussion about how it can be developed, governed, applied, and taught.

Climate Change & Health

We advance strategic collaborations, curriculum development, and global engagement to strengthen the academic public health response to climate change’s impact on health.

Framing the Future

Framing the Future builds a resilient education system that centers science, health equity, and real-world practice to prepare graduates with strong public health skills.

At ASPPH, we believe that there is an urgent need for cross-border action to tackle shared challenges, including pandemics, climate change, chronic disease, and health equity.

Gun Violence Prevention

We work to address and end gun violence as a public health crisis by advocating for research funding, spotlighting academic solutions, and engaging with national leaders.

Healthy Longevity

ASPPH is redefining aging not as a burden, but as a societal opportunity, highlighting the role of public health in promoting healthy longevity through prevention and system-wide change.

Transforming Academia For Inclusive Excellence

We are reimagining public health education to be inclusive, accessible, and publicly engaged by preparing institutions to meet community needs and future workforce demands.
