Partnership for Urban Health Research (PUHR)
The Partnership for Urban Health Research (PUHR)
at Georgia State University represents a university-wide commitment
focused on the amelioration of health disparities that confront urban
communities. Launched in fall 2004, PUHR is an interdisciplinary urban
health research program developed in partnership with the College of
Health and Human Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the
College of Law. Situated in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia State University
is uniquely poised and has a vested interest in the health and well-being
of the surrounding community, particularly the vulnerable populations
who reside and work in underserved areas.
The Partnership is being funded from the Provost’s
Areas of Focus Initiative (see proposal)
and will provide resources for 16 new tenure-track
faculty and 30 graduate research assistants. Initial research efforts
will be directed at Chronic Disease and Aging, HIV/AIDS and Infectious
Disease, Injury and Violence, and Substance Abuse and Mental Health.
