Student Applied Research Program and Other Opportunities

Starting in the fall of 2006, the USC-CPHP will be offering applied research opportunities for doctoral-level students in public health, psychology or social work who are interested in conducting their dissertations on topics or projects in which the USC-CPHP is involved. Master's-level students interested in doing their residency, practicum or internship within the Center are also encouraged to contact us for opportunities.

Because of the complexities and intricacies of the SC school system, which is comprised of 85 school districts, the 2005-2006 year is devoted to brainstorming and planning for the upcoming school preparedness training initiative. A training needs assessment is being conducted in designated schools/districts. The results of this initial assessment serve to identify the training topics and activities for the schools. In addition, key partners are being identified for inclusion in a school emergency preparedness training planning taskforce.
