Our mission at the Office of Minority and Women's Health in the National Center for Infectious Diseases is to assure that the burden and impact of infectious diseases among racial and ethnic minorities and women is acknowledged and addressed through research, surveillance, education, training, and program development. Of major concern are racial, ethnic, and gender health disparities in infectious diseases. We work to help improve the health and well-being of minority and under-served populations through a wide-ranging program that includes research, training, and prevention.
