See all Partner NewsASPPH’s advocacy efforts are intended to 1) affect public policy decisions that impact member schools and programs, as well as their faculty and students, and 2) to provide timely information about Federal legislative and regulatory developments to the leaders of academic public health to better inform their operational and investment decisions. A key member benefit is the weekly ASPPH Policy & Advocacy Newsletter, which is delivered every Monday morning (along with special issues as events warrant).
See a sample issue of the ASPPH Policy & Advocacy Newsletter.
ASPPH’s Policy and Advocacy Team works to increase federal government support for public health education, research, workforce training, and emergency services by working closely with our Congressional and agency partners.
ASPPH meets regularly with government leaders to advise them on key public health issues, national health trends, and outcome measures to inform funding. Topics include the power of prevention and population-focused research, public health employment, and changes in public health curricula.
ASPPH provides its members with regular updates on legislative advocacy, focusing on the topics most relevant to members. Through our monthly reports, detailing the latest strategic intelligence and policy developments, ASPPH members stay up-to-date on federal action affecting the field.
ASPPH advances academic public health priorities through a variety of activities, including in-depth policy papers and analysis. The papers below represent ASPPH’s positions on key issues in public health – occupational safety, research and learning centers, as well as training programs and centers. These programs depend largely on legislative support, as many of these centers and initiatives are federally funded through Congressional appropriations and agencies, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ASPPH is committed to advocating for these issues and ensuring they remain funded and supported by Congress.

Published by the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) and SAGE Publications, Public Health Reports (PHR) has been a resource for the public health community for over one hundred years. PHR publishes bi-monthly on major topics in public health, such as infectious diseases and immunization, tobacco control, injuries and violence, chronic disease control, public health methodology, and issues of interest to state and local health departments. The journal has departments focused on public health law and public health schools and education, and features special commentaries by the Surgeon General and executives within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Supplemental issues are published two to five times per year on special topics. Recent supplements have covered routine HIV screening in clinical settings, expanded access to hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing and care, and public health preparedness.
PHR complements ASPPH’s mission to transform public health by strengthening and promoting the education, research, service, and practice activities of schools and programs. Together, we advocate for investments needed to advance population health and more effective public health policies.
