Collaborative Leadership Awards

The Collaborative Leadership Awards recognize students in leadership development courses who demonstrate an exceptional capacity for advancing team-based science. Awardees distinguish themselves in complex team science simulations where success depends not only on analytic strength, but on the ability to sustain collaboration, elevate peers, and foster collective achievement. These awards affirm the lab’s commitment to cultivating rigorous and inclusive practices that prepare emerging scientists and scholars to contribute to a broader vision of health equity and climate justice.

More than a marker of individual accomplishment, these awards underscore the lab’s commitment to cultivating a rigorous and inclusive learning ecosystem. By rewarding collaborative prowess and the practice of mutual support, the program prepares emerging scientists, scholars, and future leaders to navigate the realities of interdisciplinary public health practice research and the demands of shared intellectual work. In doing so, it affirms that progress in science depends as much on how we work together as on what we discover.
