Your gifts provide student scholarships and funding for internships and research that help us serve more communities, solve more problems and take research out of labs and clinics to those who need them.

How to help fund our work during the pandemic

As the number one public school of public health, the Gillings School is working at the forefront of research, education and practice to address the greatest threats to public health— like the growing COVID-19 pandemic. While much of the research is funded by grants, we still need your support for initiatives that must move very quickly to have an impact. Our Infectious Disease Research Fund supports this continued work.

For many students, paid summer research opportunities, internships and practica have disappeared. Without funding, students are struggling with basic needs for housing, food and health insurance at a time when they are most necessary. Some students are not able to return to their home countries. Your gift to the Gillings Student Relief Fund can help them get through this difficult time.

Times like this epitomize the importance of public health. Your generosity will have an impact now and tomorrow.
