About ASPH The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) is the only national organization representing the deans, faculty and students of the accredited member schools of public health (SPH) and other programs seeking accreditation as schools of public health. ASPH Graduate Training Programs ASPH Graduate Training Programs contribute to the efforts of Federal Agencies to build an effective public health workforce. Our Training Programs are designed to support the career development of promising public health researchers and practitioners, while simultaneously addressing the workforce crisis that federal public health agencies are facing. As such, they are of utmost importance to our schools and ASPH. Training Opportunities Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) The ASPH/CDC Allan Rosenfield Global Health Fellowship expands the global health prevention workforce and provides fellows with the opportunity to gain practical, first-hand experience working, under the guidance of some of the world’s top public health leaders, on global health issues, fellows apply and translate knowledge to real world public health situations. The ASPH/CDC/ATSDR Internship provides an opportunity to gain exposure to state-of-the-art public health information while furthering the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. The ASPH/CDC/PRC Minority Fellowship enhances the preparation of future public health professionals from ethnic and racial minorities. Fellows conduct research at one of the CDC-funded Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) throughout the country while furthering their dissertation work. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Participants in the ASPH/HRSA Fellowship and Internship benefit from applied training within federal public health agency located just 10 miles from our Nation’s Capital. Trainees are placed within various HRSA bureaus including the Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr), the HIV/AIDS Bureau(HAB), and the Maternal & Child Health Bureau(MCHB). ASPH Public Policy Fellowship The ASPH Public Health Policy Fellowship is a unique opportunity for Fellows to participate in the national health policy-making process.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) The ASPH/EPA Environmental Health Fellowship enables environmental health professionals to work with EPA on current and emerging environmental public health needs. The program capitalizes on an important interdependence between the academic public health community and the EPA, the country’s primary developer of environmental policy.
