Ellen Barnidge, Ph.D., M.P.H., serves as interim vice president for research at Saint
Louis University, a position she has held since June 2024. Barnidge is a professor
of behavioral science and health equity in the College for Public Health and Social

college-based and University-wide committees and special initiatives (including service

food security, healthy equity and related issues. She values transdisciplinary research
evidenced by research partners in social work, nutrition and dietetics, medicine,
economics, health outcomes, and law.
In her new role as interim vice president for research, Barnidge seeks to continue
the momentum 博彩网址大全 research has built in the past decade and to draw on her years of
