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.
