Lacking hobbies, Fox also leads a national Internet2 K20 Initiative.
The I2–K20 Initiative brings together Internet2 members (180
research institutions) with primary and secondary schools, colleges
and universities, libraries, and museums to get new technologies–advanced
networking tools, content, and applications–into the hands of
innovators, across all educational sectors in the United States,
as quickly and as "connectedly" as possible, and to
connect these innovators to similar communities around the globe.
Tim France, PhD
In 1990, Tim France switched from a six–year laboratory–based
research project on the molecular causes of prostate and breast
cancer, to promoting the public understanding of science and
health. The transition was helped by a brief trip back to student
life to study journalism, followed by five years working as
the Scientific Editor of two popular scientific journals – the
British Journal of Hematology and the European Journal of Cancer,
and freelancing with various popular publications. Since then,
Tim has worked throughout the developing world with the WHO
Global Programme on AIDS, UNAIDS, and various non–government
organizations, preparing HIV/AIDS–related technical guidelines
and policy materials, and developing health–related information
dissemination and networking strategies.
Current interests include the design and implementation of
appropriate dialogue and information exchange systems using
email and internet technology; mobilizing a more effective response
to HIV/AIDS and other health–and–development–related issues
by improving information, communication and the quality of debate;
reconstruction of the notion of community' in relation to HIV
& AIDS; and a recently–discovered but avid interest in playing
the bongos. Tim co–founded Health & Development Networks,
a non profit organization, in March 1998. (E–mail: tfran@hdnet.org)

Dr. Melinda Moore, MD, MPH
Dr. Moore joined the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) Office of International and Refugee Health (OIRH) as its
Deputy Director in July 2000, after nearly 20 years with the
HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). She obtained
her M.D. and Master of Public Health degrees from Harvard in
1975. She completed an internship in internal medicine and then
pediatric residency in Boston, with subsequent board certification
in pediatrics and preventive medicine. She has devoted most
of her career to global health within the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), addressing a wide variety of issues.
She is a Commissioned Officer (Captain, 06) of the U.S. Public
Health Service. In addition to English, she speaks Spanish and
French fluently, German and Portuguese at an intermediate level,
and has basic comprehension of Greek.
Dr. Moore joined CDC in 1978 as an EIS Officer in the Division
of Viral Diseases, where she worked both domestically and internationally
on dengue fever and polio. Following completion of a Preventive
Medicine Residency with the Nutrition Division in Atlanta, she
helped establish the Viral Gastroenteritis section at the CDC
headquarters facility in Phoenix. In late 1982 she returned
to CDC/Atlanta to serve as a consultant, and then long–term
advisor based in Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), for
a USAID–funded African child survival project, focusing particularly
on oral rehydration therapy for diarrheal diseases. Her five
years in Zaire (1985�) included this project and then transfer
to Tulane University as part of a team funded by USAID to establish
the Zaire School of Public Health, where she developed and taught
two courses, Epidemiology and Applied Research, and helped set
up the ZSPH Research Department. Upon return to the United States
and CDC in late 1989, Dr. Moore worked in domestic and international
HIV/AIDS policy and programs. She served as the first Deputy
Director of the International Health Program Office from 1991�,
remaining active technically through serving on four HIV–related
World Bank missions (in Brazil and Indonesia) and providing
technical assistance to Uganda's AIDS Information Center. She
served as interim director of CDC's new Office of Global Health
from 1996�. During that period her policy focus included
definition of "global health" within CDC and promotion
of U.S. and CDC engagement in health globally. In late 1997,
she moved to CDC's National Center for Environmental Health
and helped the Center develop its five–year global strategic
plan. In May 1998 she was named as NCEH's Associate Director
for Global Health and in this capacity provided leadership in
defining and carrying out the Center's global agenda until moving
to the Washington, D.C. area in July 2000.
Within the Office of Global Health Affairs, Dr. Moore first
focused on efforts to develop a draft HHS Global Health Strategy,
the HHS globalhealth.gov website, and U.S. Government policies
related to global infectious diseases. She has served on three
U.S. delegations to the World Health Assembly (1995�) and
twice yearly U.S. delegations to the Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) Industrial Science and Technology Working Group (ISTWG)
and ministerial level meetings since October 1995. She has helped
spearhead US efforts related to APEC's evolving infectious disease
agenda and has co–chaired regular infectious disease "side
meetings" in conjunction with the ISTWG meetings.
