She additionally serves as Co-Director of the Meharry-Vanderbilt Community Engaged Research Core (CTSA).[3]

As the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance's Executive Director, Dr. Wilkins develops and supports collaborative initiatives and programs in biomedical research, community engagement and interprofessional learning.[4]

Background

Dr. Wilkins attended Howard University in Washington, D.C.; Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC; and Washington University in St. Louis, MO.[5] She received a bachelor’s degree in microbiology, M.D. from Howard University and a master’s degree in clinical investigation at Washington University.[6]

Since joining the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, she became co-chair of the Community Partners Integration Workgroup of the CTSA Consortium’s Community Engagement Key Function Committee in 2012.[9] Several initiatives, including a Consortium-wide inventory of community members’ involvement in CTSA activities, resulted from this workgroup.

Her experience in the healthcare field includes clinical and translational research like clinical trials, secondary data analyses and community-engaged research. In 2013, she received a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Research Award for her proposal “Improving Patient Engagement and Understanding Its Impact on Research Through Community Review Boards.”[10] One year later, in 2014, she became a member of the PCORnet Patient & Consumer Engagement (PCE) Task Force [11] and the PCORI Advisory Panel on Clinical Trials (CTAP), Subcommittee on Recruitment, Accrual and Retention (RAR).[12]
