Advancing science, making discoveries and engaging communities to promote lifelong health and well-being
Through our research, we contribute to a holistic understanding of the health of individuals and populations, foster innovation and create feasible approaches to address complex health challenges.
Outstanding research faculty and students work collaboratively to study individuals across the life course, examine the impact of social determinants on health, address health equity and disparities, conduct basic and applied research, and translate public health programs to real world settings.
We offer seminars and colloquia to share new research and ignite collaborations, and support four college research centers to foster transdisciplinary research, engage students and translate research to practice.
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training Program
Starting in Fall 2024 we are offering a new nine-month Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training Program co-hosted by the College of Health and the Oregon State University Office of Research Integrity. Details at RCR Training Schedule.
