Tuskegee University (TU) is an independent and state-related institution of higher education. It is located in Tuskegee, Alabama, which is east of Montgomery, Alabama, and west of the city of Auburn, Alabama.

In Spring 2014, Tuskegee University has collaborated with APLU (www.aplu.gov), [[NCIIA|NCIIA]]and [[University Innovation Fellows Program|University_Innovation_Fellows_Program]] to initiate an innovation and entreprenuership movement on the university's campus. Discover the outline of the movement by visiting the [[Tuskegee University Student Priorities]] page.
= <span style="font-size:large">'''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship'''</span><br/> =
Tuskegee University’s student innovation and entrepreneurship is a novel initiative with administrators, faculty, and students. This historic HBCU hopes to advance and develop new technologies though investments in innovation and entrepreneurship with its students and community. To catalyze the innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) initiative TU has collaborated with National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA), University Innovation, and Stanford UniversityInnovation.
To spark this movement members have generated a leadership circle on Tuskegee University’s campus. TU will utilize this leadership circle to connect with leaders we know from our community in the STEM field and business field to develop and advance I&E. Tuskegee has a very rich alumni organization, with successful individuals who can discuss their current innovations and entrepreneurial ventures. To develop the I&E initiative on campus members of the leadership circle will start by setting up a maker space or I&E office in the department of material science and engineering. This space will serve as the meeting place for the leadership circle and I&E events. They will also petition to the university to start and official campus organization, so that they may recruit students to the I&E movement.
Next, alumni and friends will be used to extend the reach of the newly formed I&E network, to bring in more individuals with innovative and entrepreneurial ideas to the university. The I&E movement will start with a maker day to increase the awareness of the I&E movement at the campus, and continue with similar events. Later plans are to attend scientific conferences with information about the innovation movement at TU, with hopes to expose more students and attract new community leaders involved in I&E. In addition to the maker day, plans are being developed for a seminar series titled “Changing the mindset of scientific discovery,” of which is the ultimate goal for innovation and entrepreneurship at Tuskegee University. Collaboratively, members of the leadership circle have goals to increase awareness to our student body about innovative options for their research and goals, and inform them on entrepreneurial ventures that are not currently highlighted at TU.
The success of this I&E movement will increase the number of patents and successful research projects at the university, and also increase the number of minority science and technology based business owners in the TU community. The motivation is, by first providing awareness to our student body through our lecture series and innovative events I&E leaders will generate a different way of thinking in TU’s minority community. This new way of thinking and approaching science and technology will then influence interest in these fields, giving way to new inventors and businessmen, which model one of TU’s greatest scientists, G.W.

TU has been a leader in the areas of basic and applied research for many years. Through fields like advanced materials, biotechnology, environmental science, engineering and biomedical research, Tuskegee is finding new ways to advance the safety and security of our world's citizens. Within TU’s centers of excellence and academic units, it is engaged in many areas of cutting edge research. Its faculty, students (both graduate and undergraduate), and staff are engaged in research that is critical to addressing the needs of modern day governments, corporations and citizens.

=== '''''Health Disparities Institute for Research and Education (HDIRE)'''''<br/> ===
The Health Disparities Institute for Research and Education (HDIRE) is a newly established initiative at Tuskegee University that addresses some of the major health disparities that are observed in underserved and minority communities. Founding Director, Roberta Troy PhD, and Deputy Director for Program Operations, Barbara A. Howard pioneered the initiative on the campus of Tuskegee University. Currently the HDIRE has seven executive board members and ten advisory board members.
The vision of HDIRE is to obtain equity and equality in health care access, delivery, care and costs for minority individuals and families to enable them to achieve optimal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness (Tuskegee University, 2014). HDIRE impacts its target community by providing forums, symposiums and conferences on diseases, health options, and healthy lifestyle options steered by social, community leaders and students at different universities in the state, including Tuskegee. It also provides scholarships to students engaged in research related to solving the health disparity problems of the Black Belt community and deserving youth. This program engages the Tuskegee community on a regular basis, already having 3 forums this year, and many more planned throughout 2014 and years to come. HDIRE continues to extend its presence in the Tuskegee community and may be a good model for the establishment of an innovation and entrepreneurship initiative on the campus of Tuskegee University.
=== '''''Math and Science Partnership'''''<br/> ===
A partnership consisting of Tuskegee University, Alabama State University, Auburn University, the University of Alabama, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Central Alabama Community College, Enterprise Junior College, Shelton State Community College, Wallace Community College at Selma and Wallace State Community College, nine Alabama school districts, McWane Science Center, Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) at Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin and the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering (SECME) has been formed to enhance the science achievement of students in the 6th-8th grades in selected districts of Alabama Black Belt Region.
