About Us
InCHIP serves as a nexus for investigators at the University of Connecticut and other institutions to stimulate collaborative partnerships for the development of major research initiatives in health behavior change.
InCHIP has created a multidisciplinary network of more than 480 affiliate investigators with expertise in health behavior change and intervention. This network of affiliates spans several University of Connecticut campuses, representing nearly all Schools and Colleges within the UConn system, and it also draws from more than 60 other research institutions.
The network enables InCHIP to assemble teams of investigators able to respond within short time frames to large-scale research funding opportunities as they arise.

Chelsea Singleton, Ph.D., Tulane University
Topic: Impact of Healthy Food Access on Dietary Intake and Chronic Disease
April 18, 2024 | 12:30 - 1:30 PM
Dr. Chelsea Singleton is a nutritional epidemiologist whose research examines the impact healthy food access has on food purchasing behavior, dietary intake, and chronic disease risk. The overarching goal of her research is to document and dismantle nutritional inequities affecting low-income populations and people of color in the U.S. Her recent work has primarily focused on describing the mechanisms by which structural racism and structural violence impede healthy eating in underserved communities. She has extensive experience working with nutrition assistance program participants (e.g., SNAP, WIC), and she primarily uses epidemiological, geo-spatial, and community-based participatory research methods to accomplish her research goals. Prior to joining the SBPS faculty, she was an Assistant Professor of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She completed a USDA-funded post-doctoral research fellowship at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2018. In 2020, the National Institute on Minority Health & Health Disparities (NIH/NIMHD) awarded her a five-year K01 grant. Her K01 research aims to study the effects of community violence on food retail and food purchasing behavior in low-income African American communities. She is a proud Tulane and Xavier graduate!
