NCIPH -- strengthening the capacity of public health partners to support thriving, healthy communities.
Since 1999, the North Carolina Institute for Public Health (NCIPH) has served as a bridge between academia and public health practice partners including state and local public health agencies, healthcare and community organizations.
Although formally established in 1999, some of NCIPH’s core programs, particularly continuing education, began in the 1930s as a core function of public health at UNC-Chapel Hill.
With a mission to “deliver training, conduct research and provide technical assistance to transform the practice of public health for all,” NCIPH serves as a resource for public health professionals across the state, region and country.
NCIPH staff come from a diverse range of fields, including public health, medical sciences, GIS technology, and more.
Bridging knowledge and expertise at UNC Gillings, our mission is to facilitate collaborative solutions to population health challenges in North Carolina and beyond.
