Center Administration
The Center has assembled an administrative team with a broad array of
experiences and capabilities. In addition, an internal and external advisory
committee advises the Center. An interdisciplinary professional team of
partners and affiliates support faculty and staff. Emory University Rollins
School of Public Health, Howard University College of Medicine, Morehouse School
of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health,
Midwest Bioethics Center (Kansas City, MO), University of Chicago Clinical
Center for Bioethics; Michigan State University Center for Humanities and
Bioethics, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Harvard AIDS
Institute, and the University of Wisconsin. This group of experts provides
scientific support and guidance to the Center.
The Center’s administration has made significant changes in the overall emphasis
and direction of the Center for Year 4. The Community Outreach Component and
the Research Component have been restructured and will work closer together to
establish a community-based participatory research focus with emphasis on public
health.
Additional resources will be redirected into the Archives and Museum
Component. This component is essential to the sustainability of the Center and
its legacy in the Tuskegee community. Archives and Museum is a source of
information for research and researchers and is charged with preserving the
broad historical impact of Tuskegee University in the fields of science and
health. In addition to the acquisition, preservation, and dissemination tasks,
this component is essential in ensuring that the US Public Health Service
Syphilis Study is included in the larger historical context of the impact of
Tuskegee University and other HBCU’s in developing scientific research and
health care for African Americans. The Archives and Museum component will serve
as the Center’s bridge between the University and Macon County communities.
The staff and
consultants of the Center conduct activities in six interrelated areas including
archives and museum, biomedicine, community outreach, education, information
technology, and research. Each component is outlined in the following section
of this continuation application.
