Strategic Directions: Big Ideas.
How will we address the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic recession it has caused? How do we prevent the contagion next time, and prepare for a different pandemic? This is the work of our faculty.
Through a focused planning exercise, BUSPH has identified five near-term strategic research areas—our Big Ideas:
- cities and health
- climate, the planet, and health
- health inequities
- infectious diseases
- mental and behavioral health
Each is relevant to the crises arising from today’s global pandemic—and will play a role in preparing for and preventing the next one.
