health professions faculty who are racial and ethic minorities under-represented
in the health professions. The grants enable schools to provide
a stipend and a training allowance to faculty.

under-represented in the health professions for teaching, administration,
or research positions at a health professions institution;

positions. This may include training in pedagogy, program administration,
design and conduct of research, grant writing, and the preparation
of articles suitable for publication in peer reviewed journals;
-
Assist
individuals in preparation for an academic career by providing
services such as counseling; and
-
Provide
health services to rural or medically underserved populations.
