The BCPH Research Scholars Program offers a strategic approach to realizing your academic and professional aspirations!
Learn how to translate your research ideas into real, published work with strategic support from the Boston Congress of Public Health Research Scholars Program (RSP). The RSP, which is now accepting applications for its Fall 2026 cohort, supports aspiring public health professionals, clinicians, and scholars in advancing their research, writing, and publication skills through one-on-one mentorship with leading faculty.
✨ Over an intensive 12 weeks, RSP scholars will:
Be matched with a dedicated faculty mentor who helps shape your research interests
Co-produce at least one poster and one publication, with the goal of publishing in BCPHR, the Boston Congress of Public Health Review
Present your work in a live webinar
Plan now, and walk into the new academic year with momentum, and peer-reviewed scholarship already underway.

Join the BCPH Friends Campaign to Support Public Health Leadership
On May 21, we celebrated five years of independent programs, fellowships, awards, training, and publishing at our first-ever BCPH Gala—where we honored our 40 Under 40 Public Health Catalyst Award winners in person.
That work only continues with you. The BCPH Friends Fund keeps our fellowships, podcasts, and public health programming independent and in the hands of the people doing the work. Every gift counts, and you can start with just a dollar.
$1 keeps the mic in the right hands.
Pictures from the special evening are below:
