How to Get Involved with ASPPH as a Member or Supporter

Updated

ASPPH (the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health) offers several ways to engage, but the paths differ depending on whether you represent an academic institution, want to follow the field's news, or simply want to support academic public health financially. The site's navigation points to three concrete supporter actions — becoming a sponsor, donating, and signing up for communications — plus a MyASPPH login for members. What follows is what aspph.org actually exposes for each route, so you can pick the one that fits you.

Ways to Engage, at a Glance

Route Who it's for What the site shows

MyASPPH login Existing members A dedicated login entry in the main navigation

Contact Us Prospective members or partners with questions A contact page in the main navigation

If You Represent a School or Program

ASPPH's stated mission is to champion academic public health by supporting education, research, advocacy, and practice. Its member-facing content — including a "What Our Members Are Saying" section and the MyASPPH portal — indicates that membership is oriented toward institutions rather than the general public.

To explore this route:

  1. Start at the About section, which includes the ASPPH Strategic Plan 2030, governance, staff directory, and annual reports. These tell you how the association is structured and what it prioritizes.
  2. Use the Contact Us page to ask about membership eligibility and current requirements. The site does not publish a membership application form or fee schedule in the material available, so direct inquiry is the reliable path.
  3. If your institution already participates, MyASPPH Login is the entry point for member resources.

Note that the site does not state membership costs or terms, so don't assume any tier is free or open — confirm with ASPPH directly.

If You Want to Support Financially or as a Sponsor

Under "Support Academic Public Health," ASPPH lists two distinct actions:

  • Become a Sponsor — aimed at organizations that want to back ASPPH's work and reach its academic audience.
  • Donate — a general giving option.

Both sit alongside a "Support" section that also links to Contact Us, so you can ask about sponsorship levels or how funds are used before committing. The site does not publish pricing, sponsorship tiers, or donation amounts, so treat any figures you see elsewhere as unverified.

If You Just Want to Stay Informed

The lowest-commitment option is the newsletter. ASPPH provides a subscription link ("sign up to receive") that routes to a Mailchimp sign-up form. This is useful if you're tracking public health education news, policy statements, or initiatives like AI for Public Health, Climate Change & Health, Framing the Future, Global Action, Gun Violence Prevention, and Healthy Longevity — all of which are featured on the site.

You can also follow ASPPH's public-facing content without any account:

  • Policy Statements and Policy & Advocacy Efforts under "Advocate for Public Health"
  • Published Research and Public Health Reports under "Conduct Public Health Research"
  • Community News and the Friday Letter
  • The IDEA Exchange Podcast

Choosing Your Route

  • You're at a public health school or program → Contact ASPPH about institutional membership, then use MyASPPH once enrolled.
  • You're an organization seeking visibility → Use Become a Sponsor and follow up via Contact Us to learn terms.
  • You want to give as an individual → Use the Donate link.
  • You're a student or prospective student → The "Explore Public Health" and "Apply to Graduate School" sections (covering SOPHAS, financing, and careers) are the relevant entry points rather than membership.
  • You just want updates → Subscribe to the newsletter; no login required for that step.

Because aspph.org does not publish membership fees, sponsorship rates, or donation minimums in the available material, the practical next step for any commitment-level question is the Contact Us page.
