E.J. Brown received her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and master's degrees from Florida State University and the University of Florida. She completed her Ph.D. in nursing at the University of Florida in 1993. The focus of her doctoral research was HIV risk behavior among college students.

Brown has maintained a program of research with a concentration on substance abuse and HIV prevention among minority populations. Her most recent population of interest has been rural minorities who use drugs or are at risk for acquiring HIV. Brown has received NIH and state funding to conduct research in these areas.

Brown engages in professional services that advance the needs of rural and minority populations. She is a board member of the National Association for Rural Mental Health and a member of the ANA Minority Health Taskforce. She served two terms on the editorial board of the Journal of Rural Health. In addition to these services, Brown has served on NIH and CDC expert panels which focus on either HIV or substance abuse among rural populations. She currently is a regular member of the NIDA-K Review Panel and is frequently recruited to serve as an ad hoc member on NIH AIDS-related review panels. Brown also is a reviewer for several nursing and behavior health journals.
