APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 15, 2002!!!

for pilot research studies on bioethics and oral cancer - open to faculty and students

The Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care (TUNCBRHC), in collaboration with the New York University Oral Cancer Research for Adolescent and Adult Health Promotion (RAAHP), recently announced its first annual competition for pilot research studies on bioethical issues related to oral cancer in February, with an original grant application due date of April 30, 2002.

Due to an insufficient number of competitive applications received by that time, the deadline has been postponed to October 15, 2002.

Qualified applicants selected will be awarded up to $15,000 (USD) to conduct on year pilot studies (funding eligibility).  This opportunity is open to all University/College faculty and students (including undergraduate, bioethics and dental school students).  Racial/ethnic minorities and new investigators will be given preference and are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Applications are available from TUNCBRHC beginning February 28, 2002 (preferably per email request to Natasha Brown) and will be accepted until April 30, 2002, which is the final submission due date (application procedures and selection process).

Long Night's Journey into Day

This 2000 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature looks at South Africa's post apartheid Truth & Reconciliation Commission -- a group that considered granting amnesty to criminals in exchange for the truth.  Through four case studies involving different forms of racial injustice -- white against black, black against white, black against black -- this compelling film underscores humanity capacity for both cruelty and compassion. 
 

Bioethics Minor Approved by TU Faculty Senate
The Education Component, lead by Professor Frances Krause, Dr. John Stone and Dr. Connie Price are moving forward with the planning and development of the Bioethics Ethics minor.  This is an important opportunity for the Tuskegee student body.  This endeavor will be lead by Dr. John Stone.
