    Epidemiology Coordinator


    The National Network of Public Health Institute Public Health (NNPHI) AmeriCorps Program is recruiting members for service positions that will strengthen local community resiliency and adaptation efforts to address the impacts of climate change.

    NNPHI Public Health AmeriCorps Program has partnered with the Puerto Rico Public Health Trust (PRPHT) to implement local climate advocacy and community resiliency project and to support the recruitment of members into community-based organizations in Puerto Rico.

    The PRPHT is a program of the Puerto Rico Science, Technology & Research Trust (PRSTRT), a private non-profit organization created in 2004 to encourage and promote innovation, transfer, and commercialization of technology and the creation of jobs in the technology sector.

    We contribute to Puerto Rico's public policy for science, technology, research, and development.

    The Trust's mission is to invest, facilitate and build capacity to continually advance Puerto Rico's economy and its citizens' well-being through innovation-driven enterprises, science and technology, and its industrial base.

    Our vision is that Puerto Rico is a global innovation hub that develops, attracts, and retains scientists, technology entrepreneurs, and enterprises to unlock world-class creativity and competitiveness.

    In 2017, PRSTRT was designated as a Public Health Institute and then created the PRPHT program to fulfill this responsibility.

    The goal of the PRPHT is to provide the leading strategy, leadership, and innovative development for Puerto Rico's population health initiatives.

    PRPHT's vision is to achieve sustainable health equity and improve the quality of life for Puerto Rican communities. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
