Giving
Make Your Gift Today
The Bloomberg School community is committed to improving the health of populations. Your contribution to any of these listed funds will secure excellence in public health education, research, and community engagement.
Dean's Strategic Initiative Fund
Your gift will infuse fast and flexible funding for immediate impact. Donations to the DSIF have supported:
- Supplemental funding for COVID-related research.
- Grants for students to travel to their practicum courses.
- A how-to-advocate video series created by the Lerner Center for Public Health Advocacy.

DSIF grant monies help students with practicum travel expenses.
Faculty Innovation Fund
Your gift will provide a faculty member with resources to spark new discoveries and lead innovative research, such as:
- Examining the role of an early-life health incident in colorectal cancer development later in life.
- Assessing how Medicaid home- and community-based services provide care to individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
- Creating a prospective evaluation of autism vis-Ã -vis social environment and the developing brain.

Public Health Forward Fund
Your gift will help sustain critical research when current funding is reduced or eliminated, by:
- Sustaining a lab’s core operations to retain researchers, prevent the loss of important data, and keep students on track to meet their degree milestones.
- Securing research that uses social epidemiology as a lens to improve human health.
- Preserving the work that went into establishing a project by supporting that project's completion, instead of stopping and restarting the project later.
