With conflict and human security becoming a top priority for U.S. foreign policy, UNH has launched a fully online M.S. in Global Conflict & Human Security to prepare graduates for careers in humanitarian relief, global development, peacebuilding and more.

In summer 2020, UNH completed its own state-of-the-art COVID-19 test lab in the span of 100 days. All UNH students are tested twice a week, as well as faculty and staff and members of the community, using an innovative self-swabbing kit and RT-PCR tests. During the fall semester, test positivity rate on campus remained below 1 percent.

The Health Resources and Services Administration has awarded UNH Institute on Disability a $2.4 million grant for Building Futures Together, a program offering specialized training for paraprofessionals to better support youth and families impacted by opioid and other substance use disorders.

UNH's Telehealth Practic Center is helping NH prisons and county jails as they struggle to meet the complex health related needs of their residents.
