The Carolina Health Informatics Program ( CHIP ) is an interdisciplinary research and training program that plays a key role in fulfilling UNC -Chapel Hill’s commitment to improving human health through health informatics research, data sharing, development, and education. It draws faculty, health care professionals, and students from across the UNC campus to conduct basic and translational research and to offer graduate training in health informatics for scientists across the disciplines and for clinicians in medicine, nursing, public health, dentistry, and pharmacy.
The Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life ( CITAP ) is a research center dedicated to understanding the growing impact of the internet, social media, and other forms of digital information sharing in the context of the people who design, use, and govern them. CITAP conducts original research that illuminates how people, technology, and power intersect. Topics of study include: the way inequalities are coded into new technology systems, networked communities and how people come together online, platform governance, and identity and disinformation. CITAP takes a holistic approach grounded in history, society, culture, and politics to the study of technology platforms and information systems.
SILS provides professional library services to the EPA’s largest research facility (located in Research Triangle Park, RTP ) where investigators focus on air pollution and its effects on human health and the ecosystem. The library’s collections and services provide exposure to and experience with a wide range of materials, including biomedical, toxicological, and chemical information; engineering literature; government documents; and basic management and computer information. The EPA – RTP Library internship has been a cornerstone of the library’s service model since 1975. The library is staffed by a mixture of full-time professional librarians and up to eight graduate student interns.
