Liz Klein awarded Fulbright U.S. Specialist award to Brazil
Fulbright project will incorporate public health content into biological chemistry curriculum in Rio De Janeiro
Liz Klein, professor and chair of the Division of Health Behavior and Health Promotion, has been awarded a 2026-2027 Fulbright U.S. Specialist award to Brazil to research “Structuring Impactful Health Science.”
For two weeks in October, Klein will be working with the Program in Biological Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro to strategically align their research and educational outputs with pressing global health challenges; in her role, Klein will advise on how to modify, evaluate and refine their curriculum and performance metrics to meet this goal. She will also contribute to training activities for faculty and graduate students focused on global health integration, research translation and policy-relevant science.
“I aim to collaborate on innovative ways to incorporate public health content and research opportunities into their program," Klein said. "I look forward to sharing ideas on practices to foster more impactful, interdisciplinary, and socially relevant research."
