New York University is a large private university based in New York City, founded in 1831. The College of Global Public Health (NYU GPH) was formed in 2015 and is the newest college to be established at NYU for several decades.

  1. innovative and groundbreaking methodological research that is relevant to critical Public Health research
  2. collaborative research in pressing and important Public Health issues;
  3. education and training of students from diverse backgrounds in cutting edge statistical methods for design and analysis of studies used in Public Health research, as well as theoretical foundations that will serve as the basis for future innovations.
