The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) is offering this grant to establish a national coordinating center (CC) for its funded Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMIs). This grant is for the purpose of helping RCMI centers collectively enhance research capacity in basic biomedical, behavioral, and clinical areas, and enable investigators to secure competitive extramural support, particularly from NIH, focusing on diseases disproportionately impacting minority populations. The CC will also foster career development, especially for early-career investigators, improve scientific inquiry on minority health and health disparities, and establish sustainable community partnerships. Furthermore, it will centralize study operations, coordinate data management, and provide biostatistical support for the RCMI Clinical Research Network for Health Equity. Eligible applicants are limited to current RCMI award recipients.
