AAPHP 2020 PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE AWARD

Applications are now being accepted for the AAPHP Public Health Practice Award to support a student-led public health project. This project may include the practicum, or some other intervention, research and/or evaluation project conducted in a mutually beneficial partnership with a community partner (defined as an educational, governmental or non-governmental organization). Activities used to complete the requirements for a thesis or internships may be eligible. Examples of how funds can be used include (although this list is not exhaustive): purchase supplies or technical expertise for the project; provide incentives for research participation; cover travel costs for disseminating the findings; or support the awardee directly.  

Three scholarships are available:

• One scholarship to support an undergraduate student project ($500).
• Two scholarships to support graduate student projects ($1000 each).

Student eligibility requirements:

1. Enrolled in a public health degree program in an AAPHP member or affiliate institution.
