Description
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities plans to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to expand research capacity in health sciences at minority institutions. The RCMI program supports less research-intensive institutions offering doctorate degrees in health professions or related sciences. The program aims to enhance institutional research capacity, support investigator development, and establish community partnerships. Centers are expected to support up to three research projects in basic biomedical, behavioral or social science, and clinical or health services research. Eligible applicants include domestic public, state, and private institutions of higher education with specific NIH funding history and degree offerings.
