Programs

The four programmatic areas of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Planetary Health (JHIPH) are guided by faculty directors. It is important to underscore that the interconnections among these areas will be as rich as the areas themselves. Policy work will be informed by research and innovations in practice. Education will benefit from case studies in policy and research results. The most valuable research will be informed by policy questions or practice requirements. The role of the JHIPH faculty directors is to convene JHU community and advance workstreams within their programmatic areas. In collaboration with the Leadership Team, they identify a small number of discrete activities and support those activities through convenings, development support, and connections with the global Planetary Health Alliance community, with its secretariat based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington DC.
