Read USF’s latest Coronavirus (COVID-19) updates.
Florida Covering Kids & Families, a community and consumer-focused nonprofit initiative based at the COPH, has received a record-breaking $11.9 million from the U.S. Health and Human Service Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. 

A team of researchers led by Dr. John Adams from the COPH have recently published an article looking at the pathways some deadly malaria-causing parasites use to survive not just human fever—the body’s natural defense against pathogens—but also the drugs designed to attack them.

Three COPH student scholars have been selected to present their research at the Delta Omega Poster Sessions, held during the American Public Health Association annual meeting. The theme of this year’s meeting, to be held from Oct. 24-27 in Denver and online, is “Creating the Healthiest Nation: Strengthening Social Connectedness.”

The COPH's Dr. Karen Liller has been approved to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster. Being placed on the roster means that Liller is now eligible to confer on projects and programs with host institutions around the globe with whom she is matched. 

It wasn’t until her last year of undergraduate work at USF that Dr. Laura Riley even thought about a career in public health.
