CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy Foundation

East Harlem shelters a hub of public-health advancement. The 1920s building at 55 W 125th St, New York, NY 10027 houses a non-profit dedicated to tomorrow’s epidemiologists and policy designers. Community health research and grant-funded training sit at the core of what it supports.

This organization connects students with projects tackling urban inequities, from HIV-prevention outreach to climate-health mapping. Curricula link classroom lessons with real neighborhoods—think East Harlem and the South Bronx—where data becomes change. Mid-career fellows here sharpen leadership while access to biostatistics software stays current. Occasionally, commissioned papers travel to city council desks; their recommendations aim at municipal budgets rather than journals.

Direct support is a quick call away: 646-364-9513. After hours of tutorials and datasets, the fastest route south is a click on the map for precise walking directions. Grit and spreadsheets aren’t likely to vanish, but somewhere between policy briefs and ZIP codes this corner keeps the conversation alive.
