Join us on September 24, 2025, for an ASPPH Presents webinar titled, The Role of Academia in Public Health Research: Bridging Theory, Practice, and Partnerships.  

At a time when public health research funding is facing increasing challenges, the role of academic institutions in sustaining innovation and discovery is more vital than ever. This webinar will explore how academia, despite tightening budgets, continues to lead collaborative, high-impact research initiatives that shape public health policy and practice.

ASPPH members, in partnership with organizations such as Research!America, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other key partners are finding creative, resourceful ways to drive scientific progress, develop life-saving interventions, and address pressing global health concerns.

We’ll highlight how these partnerships amplify academic research efforts, enable efficient resource sharing, and ensure that data-driven solutions reach the communities that need them most, even in the face of funding constraints.

In addition to showcasing member-led research, the webinar will highlight how ASPPH serves as the leading source for institutional public health research, providing data and insights that support evidence-based decision-making at both national and global levels.

Whether you are a researcher, educator, public health professional, policymaker, or organizational partner, this webinar will offer valuable insights into how academia remains a cornerstone of public health advancement through resilience, partnership, and purpose-driven research.
