ASPH/APHL Pathways to Public Health Career Events
ASPH and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) are pleased to announce two new funding opportunities for career day events and mentorship programs. In an effort to generate interest in public health careers, ASPH and APHL solicit proposals for the planning and execution of career day events and undergraduate mentorship programs.
Proposals will be accepted for events focused on undergraduate/graduate education and careers in public health, which may include an appropriate mix of activities, such as exhibit fairs, plenary sessions and small group events. The suggested length of event is one day, though longer events will also be considered. Events proposed under this category may be aimed towards health professions students, undergraduate students, high school students or a combination of all three categories.
Proposals will also be accepted for internship programs which encourage undergraduate students to explore careers in public health and public health laboratory science. The program will be designed to combine public health concepts and theories with laboratory science and other practice settings, ideally among partnering academic institutions and state/local public health laboratories.
Eligible organizations include:
- Public health laboratories;
- Public health practice-based organizations such as health departments;
- CEPH-accredited schools of public health; and,
- Academic institutions offering undergraduate majors and minors in public health.
This program is supported through funding through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Interested organizations should submit a letter of intent by November 1, 2008 to jmcelligott@asph.org. Full applications must be submitted by December 1 via an online application system, which will be available on November 10. The complete RFP and application information may be found at: www.asph.org/pathways.
