Dr. Godley is now the principal leader in the dean's office focused on developing the faculty and working with them to assure their success. He will lead the development of programs and activities directed at all ranks of the faculty, including tenured, tenure-track, research and clinical faculty, and will help the UNC School of Medicine attain much greater success in diversifying the faculty.
Dr. Godley's ongoing commitment to minority health and health disparities research is exemplified by his leadership as founding director of the UNC Program on Ethnicity, Culture and Health Outcomes (ECHO), a university-wide initiative to advance understanding and elimination of racial health disparities through multidisciplinary research, education and training, and community partnership. He also directs the Carolina-Shaw Partnership for the Elimination of Health Disparities (Project EXPORT), based at the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research.
