This portfolio is comprised of community-based public health projects as well as the externally funded projects of the faculty. The mix of topics is broad, reflecting the inherent nature of public health. Current projects include studies of: Spirituality and health issues, such as the role of spirituality in the quality of life of persons with HIV/AIDS. Health policy issues, such as the developing shortage of physicians in geriatric medicine, and the federal reimbursement policies for clinical care. Health issues of strategic populations, including racial/ethnic minorities, returning military veterans, and urban Appalachians. Funding sources for such research can range from the National Institutes of Health to various foundations and community organizations. In that our mission includes the health of both communities and individuals, the faculty of Public Health Sciences also serves as a University-wide resource for the clinical research enterprise. Accordingly, faculty members also serve as co-investigators on projects addressing a broad array of clinically-oriented issues. To learn about the research interests of individual faculty members, read their biographical sketches. Please feel free to contact any of the faculty to discuss projects of potentially mutual interest.
