At the University of Minnesota School of Public Health

Research at SPH

Through education, research and community outreach, we focus on improving the health of populations.

We emphasize prevention of illness and injury, and we look at health through a multi-faceted prism that includes physiology, the environment, communities, economics and policy.

Our faculty members are among the leading experts in public health today.

Productive faculty

For the fourth consecutive year, our faculty rank No. 1 per capita (meaning grant monies awarded per faculty member), making the school the most fiscally productive unit on campus — and the most productive per capita school of any U.S. public health school within a public university.

We are No. 1 in a ranking of awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for public U.S. schools of public health. For the fifth consecutive year, the SPH ranks third in NIH funding for all public health schools in the nation.

We’re growing

Faculty ranks increased by 37 percent from 2004 to 2008. Currently, we have 136 faculty members, the most in school history.
