Strategic Direction for Year 4
Our uniqueness, with a focal point on social justice and diversity as they
relate to public policy and public health ethics in the health care arena, has
expanded as the decision making process has become more complex. New ideas
and experiences must be continuously infused into the policy making process.
Therefore, Center staff and administrators must examine the ethical, legal, and
social consequences of research issues; stimulate public discussion of salient
issues; and, develop policy options that would assure that the information is
used for the benefit of individuals and society. Accordingly, the broad
strategic goals of the Center are as follows:
-
To advance a culturally sensitive and effective
health care ecosystem, supported by sound;
-
To assist in eliminating racial disparities by
moving knowledge gained in clinical research to community based practice;
-
To facilitate national dialogue on social
justice and diversity as integral to public policy and public health ethics;
-
To encourage expanded use of holistic approaches
that integrate biomedical interventions with health care, education, and
social service programs;
-
To educate and train a cadre of African American
bioethicists from neighboring professions, including public health,
social work, and other allied health professions to engage in dialogue on
ethical dilemmas in health and medicine;
-
To establish trust in the national health care
infrastructure that transcends boundaries of economic status, social
class, race, ethnicity, and gender; and,
-
To serve as a resource and source of primary and
secondary research exploring the role of cultural and diversity in the
bioethics community.
The remainder of this
continuation application outlines the process, procedures and resources used by
the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care at Tuskegee
University to implement this vision.
