Brief Description:
This program, originally announced in 1989, was established to address the need to increase the number of underrepresented minority scientists participating in biomedical research and the health related sciences. Although the NIH currently provides opportunities for minorities through the traditional research grant programs and through special initiatives supported by various components of the NIH there is no evidence that this need has changed. Therefore, NIH has continued its efforts to establish a diversified workforce by increasing the number of individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups actively participating in biomedical research. In addition, in more recent years, it has become increasingly clear that there is a serious health care disparity among minority groups in this country. The NIH recognizes the need to expand research opportunities for minority scientists to help eliminate health disparities.
