Bioethics Forum
The CCTS Bioethics Forum, hosted by Tuskegee University, brings together researchers, bioethicists, students, community members, front-line research staff, and clinical staff to discuss ethical issues in research. This annual event provides a safe space and proactive stance for invited experts and pertinent stakeholders to highlight accurately “what we know” and to reflect on approaches that can inform “what we ought to do” individually, institutionally, and collectively to drive effective policy and law.
