Nationally recognized faculty

The faculty of Saint Louis University School of Public Health have active and extensive research portfolios.  Funding agencies for recent projects include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  Members of the SLU SPH community receive hundreds of requests each year for expert commentary in a wide variety of media outlets.  Faculty members are widely published in peer reviewed journals and many serve on national boards and committees.  As an example, the SPH is home to the National Public Health Leadership Development Network, which provides a formal means for expanding collaboration among academic and practice institute directors and coordinators, leadership institute alumni, and representatives of other federal, professional, and private organizations.  

“I would encourage a student to come to SLU for the nationally and internationally recognized researchers who work with and in the community, and for the access to faculty – all faculty teach courses.” (Darcy Scharff, PhD, Assistant Professor of Community Health in Behavioral Science/Health Education)
