Background
The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) has been advancing the health of people in cities since 1847. An independent organization, NYAM addresses the health challenges facing the world’s urban populations through interdisciplinary approaches to policy leadership, education, community engagement and innovative research. Drawing on the expertise of diverse partners worldwide and more than 2,000 elected Fellows from across the professions, our current priorities are to create environments in cities that support healthy aging; to strengthen systems that prevent disease and promote the public’s health; and to implement interventions that eliminate health disparities.

Summary
The Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies - The Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies (CUES) is a rigorous research unit that uses epidemiology and social sciences to identify opportunities to improve the health of urban populations and reduce health disparities. To accomplish this, CUES builds basic public health science, works with communities to translate those findings into interventions, and then develops and evaluates those interventions that have the greatest potential for scale-up and sustainability. We also work to translate our evidence into appropriate policy action.
