The 2009-2010 Jennings Randolph Senior Fellows
Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow William "Bill" Long [5] (pictured above) is a Professor at and Chair of the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Institute of Technology. His project examines ongoing regional cooperation and response in infectious disease control among traditional adversaries including the Middle East, the Mekong Basin and East Africa. The study explores why cooperation is occurring in difficult regions and how state actors, international Organizations, NGOs, and private companies work together in this promising area of transnational problem solving. For his project, Long recently traveled to Jordan to meet with members of the Middle East Consortium on Infectious Disease Surveillance (MECIDS). MECIDS is an informal organization that brings together the public health directors of Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. The three entities have worked together closely for several years on sensitive matters of public health, including pandemic influenza prevention during the avian flu outbreak in 2005 and, more recently, on swine flu. In November, Long also ran a workshop for the National Science Foundation on designing graduate programs for post-9/11 service personnel under the new GI Bill.
