The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities offers grants to fund basic and applied biomedical research focusing on disease mechanisms affecting health disparity populations. This grant aims to develop interventions and therapies that can reduce or eliminate health disparities by studying genetic risk factors, molecular pathways, pharmacogenomics, and personalized medicine in minority communities. Research areas include clinical and translational studies to improve health outcomes in populations facing health disparities. Applications exploring biological mechanisms in underrepresented groups are highly encouraged. Closing date for submission is Nov 26, 2013.

| Description:: | The overall goal of this initiative is to enhance our understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms involved in disease conditions that disproportionately affect health disparity populations and develop therapies or interventions that can directly or demonstrably contribute to the reduction or elimination of health disparities. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications to conduct:
1. Biological and genetic research to explore disease mechanisms or pathways that influence health outcomes in minority and health disparity populations. 2. Clinical and translational research linking basic science discovery with effective treatment or clinical practice to improve health outcomes in minority and health disparity populations. Projects investigating the etiology, physiology, genetic risk factors, molecular pathways, gene-environmental interactions, pharmacogenomic and personalized medicine in health disparity populations are particularly encouraged. |
