Gaps in access to quality health care across U.S. communities contribute to worse health outcomes and remain a major public health challenge.
- Fields
Public Health & Epidemiology
Medicine & Clinical Research
- Topics
health disparities
minority health
research infrastructure
- Grants
- 1 known grant, through May 2027
What they work on
- Expand shared resources for basic biomedical and behavioral research at NCCU, building on core capabilities in chemical analysis, imaging, metabolic analysis and rodent behavior studies.
- Lay the groundwork for NCCU researchers to conduct pilot studies in population health and health services research on health disparities.
- Integrate collaborations with NIH-funded centers at nearby institutions and with other RCMI centers through the RCMI coordinating center to increase biomedical, behavioral and health research capacity.
More about the research
Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) play an important role in studying these gaps and working with affected communities. Doing that research well requires labs, instruments, data expertise and support for researchers.
Why it matters
Stronger research facilities and partnerships at an HBCU could help NCCU scientists study health disparities, the persistent gaps in health and access to quality care among U.S. communities. Expanded capacity in biomedical, behavioral, population and health services research may support studies that improve health outcomes for underserved populations.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
