What they work on
- Fund pilot research projects by junior and early-stage Tuskegee University faculty that address minority health and health disparities or strengthen the university's research capacity.
- Coordinate mentorship, training and professional development for pilot project investigators and other faculty with potential to start minority health research.
- Engage Tuskegee faculty more broadly with the Center for Biomedical Research, with emphasis on research that could improve health outcomes in Alabama's Black Belt Counties.
More about the research
The Core helps junior and early-stage faculty become independent researchers working on minority health and health disparities.
Why it matters
By training and funding early-career faculty at a historically Black university, the program could grow research capacity on diseases that disproportionately affect minority communities. Communities in Alabama's Black Belt Counties are a particular focus. Over time, this could lead to more studies aimed at improving health outcomes for these underserved populations.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
