Research Centers

    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.
