The award is part of an effort to increase the number of qualified public health lab professionals by expanding training opportunities, building up the existing APHL-CDC Fellowship Program and launching a new internship program, the university said.

The college said it will use the money to cover tuition and provide a stipend to students enrolled in the public health and clinical lab science and practice DrPH program. Up to 12 students could receive full tuition in the first semester.
