Abstract

In 2001, the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) and the American Legacy Foundation teamed up on the Scholarship, Training, and Education Program for Tobacco Use Prevention (STEP UP). This five-year project seeks to accomplish three goals: (1) to increase the number of graduate students and faculty in public health who specialize in tobacco studies and research; (2) to better integrate tobacco-related issues into graduate public health education; and (3) to build a stronger infrastructure for tobacco-related education in schools of public health. The ASPHLegacy partnership aims to increase the visibility of tobacco control topics within the graduate public health educational setting. STEP UP’s ultimate goal is to create sustainable academic environments for training students and to support post-doctoral and faculty development in tobacco prevention and control. This project is consistent with the ASPH’s mission to support and promote research, teaching, service, and practice excellence in the member schools of public health.
