The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars Program was designed to build the field of population health by training scholars to investigate the connections among biological, behavioral, environmental, economic, and social determinants of health; and develop, evaluate, and disseminate knowledge and interventions based upon integration of these determinants.The Columbia site is designed to foster an intellectual environment for the scholars that juxtaposes different disciplines and points of view and allows cross-talk among research, policy and public health perspectives.
