About Next Steps in Public Health

The Institute for Public Health Next Steps in Public Health events bring multidisciplinary stakeholders together for in-depth discussion about potential solutions to complex public health challenges. The objective of these events is to produce concrete, actionable outputs such as reports, research agendas, policy priorities, and dissemination plans that aim to make an impact. These events inspire innovative ideas and encourage new collaborations. Faculty from across the university participate alongside stakeholders and partners in the community.
