Transdisciplinary Training at the Intersection of Environmental Health and Social Science (T32)
About
The Transdisciplinary Training at the Intersection of Environmental Health and Social Science began in 2015 with its first 5-year funding award and was subsequently awarded a renewal of funding in 2021 for an additional 5 years. The T32 Training Program provides support for doctoral students for three years each and post-docs for two years each. Trainees divide their time between SSEHRI and Silent Spring Institute, with time spent working with additional Northeastern faculty and community organizations as well.
The T32 Training project is led by Prof. Phil Brown (NU) and Julia Brody (SSI).
