Timothy H. Holtz, M.D., M.P.H., was appointed as the Sumner M. Redstone Chair, and Director of the Sumner M. Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Treatment, in July 2024; as well as joining the Milken Institute School of Public Health, Department of Global Health, as Professor.

 

Dr. Holtz served as the Deputy Director of the Office of AIDS Research (OAR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from June 2019 through March 2024. As Deputy Director, Dr. Holtz provided scientific leadership including policy development and program management for the NIH HIV research program. He worked with the OAR Director to coordinate the NIH HIV/AIDS research agenda; directed the development of the scientific components of the NIH Strategic Plan for AIDS and AIDS-Related Research; participated in and convened expert panels; and co-coordinated the development of the $3.2 billion NIH HIV research budget. Dr. Holtz also served as the Executive Secretary / Designated Federal Official of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Committee (OARAC, 2023–2024), and the Chair of the NIH AIDS Executive Committee (NAEC, 2019–2024).
 

In January 2020, the U.S. Commissioned Corps Headquarters, responsible for the administration and response coordination of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), announced the promotion of Dr. Holtz to the rank of Rear Admiral in the Commissioned Corps of the USPHS. As a Commissioned Corps flag officer, Dr. Holtz also had the title and responsibilities of an Assistant Surgeon General in the USPHS (2020–2024). He is the recipient of the USPHS Distinguished Service Medal, two Outstanding Service Medals, seven Outstanding Unit Citations, and eleven Foreign Duty Service awards, among others.
 

From 2010–2019, Dr. Holtz served in global HIV and TB prevention and control programs overseas, as a country program director for both CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Division of Global HIV and TB. Between 2016–2019 he was stationed in India where he implemented the CDC’s President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) strategic objectives. Dr. Holtz led the development of country program goals, priorities, and prevention research strategies, including the adoption of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into the national HIV strategy. Prior to serving in India, he was the site Principal Investigator (PI) for the Emory University-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Clinical Trial Unit site in Bangkok, Thailand; the site Investigator of Record of several HIV Prevention Trials Network and Microbicide Trials Network research studies; and advised the Thailand Ministry of Public Health on scientific HIV policy decisions and research objectives.
 

Between 2002–2010, Dr. Holtz served as an epidemiologist and team lead for the CDC’s International TB Branch, Division of TB Elimination, working in southern Africa, Eastern Europe, and South America on multidrug-/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis control and TB/HIV program capacity building. He is the co-creator of the entity extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB).

Dr. Holtz was an associate professor of global health at Emory University (2003–2019), is recognized for authoring/co-authoring over 110 publications, a memoir, the Textbook of Global Health (Oxford Univ Press, 4th ed.), and for being a founding member of Doctors for Global Health, a non-governmental health and human rights organization. In 2023 he was awarded the American College of Preventive Medicine Board of Regents Scientific Excellence Award in recognition of outstanding scientific achievements, contributions and excellence in Preventive Medicine. He is also the recipient of the APHA International Health Section’s Mid-career Achievement Award, and the University of Iowa Distinguished Alumni Service Award.

 

Dr. Holtz received a B.A. in chemistry from St. Olaf College in 1986, an M.D. from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in 1991, and an M.P.H. in International Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He completed a residency in Internal Medicine (Primary Care) at Harvard Medical School, a fellowship in Health and Human Rights at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the Epidemic Intelligence Service fellowship training and a residency in Preventive Medicine at the CDC.

Shortly after completing residency, Dr. Holtz banded together with fellow postgraduates in 1995 to form a non-governmental health and human rights organization to bring “health where the peace is new” and make “health a bridge to peace” in post-civil war El Salvador. As a founding board member of Doctors for Global Health (DGH), he helped guide the strategic planning for the nascent NGO for ten years, provided program evaluation technical guidance, and consulted on expansion to neighboring Central American countries. DGH projects included primary health care clinics, childcare centers, income-generating projects, and the construction of a highly utilized bridge connecting the district of Morazán to neighboring districts. DGH in El Salvador became an autonomous NGO “Medicos por El Derecho a la Salud” in El Salvador, which was an original goal of the NGO’s vision.
 

Dr. Holtz and his family continue in local service through volunteering for Nourishing Bethesda, a new NGO that provides nutritious fresh and packaged food for local families in need.
