Although specific projects of the Luther Terry Fellow depend on the activities within ODPHP during the fellow's appointment, a description of activities of the current and previous fellows gives an idea of the scope and breadth of the fellow's work.

Fellows have also participated in the HHS Initiative to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health, development of Healthy People 2010, coordination of HHS agencies on the Pfeisteria investigation in Eastern coastal waterways, promotion of adult immunizations, and increasing the emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion in the medical school curriculum.
