Ambassador Robert O’Brien Message for National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week

The Trump Administration’s intention is to establish the U.S.-Africa Institute for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovation, with principal roles for HBCU. The Administration looks forward to expanding partnerships and activities with a number of HBCU. Programs could further expand upon public health leadership training, telemedicine, data analytics, leadership in understanding and addressing social determinants of health, and cultural competencies, including addressing stigma and discrimination, community health, and community medicine.
