Most of our full time faculty have their primary academic appointment within the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the School of Public Health.

The mission of the Center for Health Promotion and Health Equity to improve health and advance health equity through interdisciplinary and community-engaged research, education and advocacy at the structural, organizational, interpersonal, and individual levels.

Consistent with the academic mission of Brown University, our faculty teach in traditional classroom settings within the school and/or through mentorship of undergraduate, MPH, Ph.D. students, and postdoctoral fellows. We conduct research in collaboration with community partners and research participants from the local, regional, and global community.
