NOVA NSPH works to promote research in Public Health that can bring knowledge and solutions to the service of improving the Community’s health.
Our research area has decades of experience in the development of projects inspired and motivated by the effort to understand the most emerging, current and complex challenges of Public Health, responding not only with the science it produces, but also with the establishment of bridges with society and health services, as well as with the involvement in supporting policy makers and the design of health policies, in accordance with best practices, nationally and internationally.
Similar to the activities of NOVA NSPH, the research carried out at CISP – a center belonging to the school – is multi, inter and transdisciplinary, and results from the work of specialists in areas as diverse as health promotion and reduction of inequalities, socio-behavioral sciences, occupational and environmental health, health management and economics, epidemiology and statistics, law and ethics, innovation, technologies and public policies, specifically in the health area.
CISP collaborates with several national and international research centers and is open to all researchers who wish to contribute to the common goal of high-quality Public Health research, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and recognized in Portugal and around the world.
