Program Summary听

The purpose of the MHRT program is to develop and/or enhance a research training program that allows for both domestic and international training opportunities for eligible individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences research workforce, and who are interested in careers in these areas of minority health and health disparities research. 听

The training program should provide:

  • The enhancement of the trainees' ability to conceptualize and think through research problems with increasing independence;
  • Experience conducting research using state-of-the-art methods as well as presenting and publishing their research findings;
  • The opportunity to interact with members of the scientific community at appropriate scientific meetings and workshops;
  • The enhancement of the trainees' understanding of minority health and health disparities research; and
  • The enhancement of the trainees' understanding of the health-related sciences and the relationship of their research training to minority health, health disparities science and global health.

The intention of the MHRT Program is to provide grant support to institutions that offer doctorate degrees in the health professions or in a health-related science. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. NIH strongly supports training towards a career in clinically relevant research.
