40+ open programsCatalog updated
This is a small hub and it is worth saying so plainly. Public health as a labelled field accounts for a few dozen open programs, far fewer than the size of the discipline would suggest.
The reason is labelling rather than funding. Most public health work in the catalog is filed under health, which is by a wide margin the largest field label in the data. Epidemiology, health services research and health equity programs frequently carry no more specific label than that, so the health hub is the first place to look next and it is roughly sixty times the size of this one.

What is here is genuinely public health rather than clinical: policy research, global health, health journalism, traffic and environmental health. The sponsors are a mix of research councils and mission-driven organizations, including the Social Science Research Council, the Health Effects Institute, the Carter Center and SHAPE America.
Fellowships and scholarships make up over half the programs, so this hub leans toward supporting people rather than funding studies. The median award is $20,000.
