Academic institutions play an important role in preparing the next generation of public health professionals and generating the knowledge needed to improve health outcomes. As a trusted public health partner, IPHI works alongside faculty, researchers, students, and academic leaders to translate research into practice, build workforce capacity, and create meaningful opportunities for learning and collaboration.

Our partnerships support a range of initiatives, including workforce development, training and technical assistance, research and evaluation, community engagement, strategic planning, and public health education. We help academic partners connect with communities and public health organizations while bringing practical, community-informed perspectives into academic and workforce development efforts.

IPHI also works with academic institutions to strengthen the public health workforce pipeline. Through internships, fellowships, training programs, applied learning opportunities, and other collaborative initiatives, we help students and emerging professionals gain the knowledge and experience needed to address today’s public health challenges.
