IAPHS at UH
Overview
UH Population Health launched the nation’s first undergraduate chapter of the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS). The purpose of IAPHS is to foster scientific innovation and discovery to improve the health of populations and improve health outcomes. The mission is to provide a forum that will connect population health scientists across disciplines and sectors, advance the development of population health science, and promote its application.
IAPHS at UH is a forum focused on bringing together the next generation of population health scientists to engage in research and engaging health-related activities. Recognizing the wide array of students in population health, this organization seeks to bring students together from different fields of study at the University of Houston for professional, academic development and well networking opportunities.

IAPHS Fellowship
The IAPHS is the premier professional organization of population health scientists in the US, attracting membership from across academia, industry, policy, and community spaces. In addition to innovative, cross-cutting research and public communication of population health science, IAPHS invests in educating and mentoring the next generation of researchers. As part of this commitment in 2021 the organization granted permission to the University of Houston to launch the first specifically undergraduate chapter of the IAPHS in the nation. To recognize and celebrate this important milestone, UH Population Health is pleased to offer the annual UH IAPHS fellowship to undergraduate students interested in research and careers in population health.
