The North Carolina Institute for Public Health (NCIPH) is the service and outreach arm of the prestigious School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Its mission is to bring the public health scholarship and practice communities together for the common purpose of improving the public's health and human well-being.

NCIPH is a key public health resource for imparting timely and practical knowledge about ongoing and emerging public health issues. Its intention is to raise public awareness and stimulate discourse about public health issues, policy, and practice. Examples of emerging public health issues include disaster and disease preparedness, accreditation, health disparities, and obesity.

As a constituent of UNC, the Institute is committed to the public health needs of North Carolina, placing those first. But public health issues go beyond geographic boundaries. The Institute provides services to the public health communities of neighboring states, the nation, and the world.

NCIPH provides a range of learning and development experiences that constitute the largest, most comprehensive set of public health professional development resources in the country.
