Dan Colley, professor of microbiology and director of UGA’s Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, has been selected as one of 25 health experts who will advocate for greater U.S. investment in global health research. These experts join 50 of their peers in Research!America’s Paul Rogers Society for Global Health Research, a national advocacy organization working to raise awareness about the critical importance of global health research.
Colley began serving a one-year term in January as an “unbiased voice that can highlight the important role of global health research to key policymakers and the media at home and in Washington, D.C.,” according to the society.
Research!America is the nation’s largest nonprofit public education and advocacy alliance working to make improved health a higher national priority. Research!America advocates greater U.S. investment in research to fight diseases that disproportionately affect the world’s poorest nations.
