The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) mission is to lead scientific research to improve minority health and reduce health disparities. The NIMHD has been a leader in increasing the scientific community’s focus on non-biological factors such as socioeconomics, politics, discrimination, culture, and environment in relation to health disparities. NIMHD invests in research and fosters collaborations and partnerships to promote and support evidence-based science to inform practice and policy. https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nimhd.nih.gov%2F&data=02%7C01%7CHeather.Brumberg%40wmchealth.org%7Cffc73f9c11a74ec2051c08d84e9e480c%7C04a4e212fbc24cbdacc567389ee10acb%7C0%7C0%7C637345789005748050&sdata=u9FILDaGaepFaShW21NtP74aaonds%2FqHsleIJzznkGM%3D&reserved=0
The National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) is a nationwide consortium of biomedical professionals and institutions collaborating to provide, all trainees, across the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences with evidence-based mentorship and professional development programming. The NRMN aims to utilize structured mentorship and networking experiences to enhance the training and career development of individuals from diverse backgrounds, communities, and cultures who are pursuing biomedical and behavioral research careers. The NRMN links highly knowledgeable and skilled mentors from various disciplines with talented, motivated and diverse mentees from the undergraduate to early career faculty level. https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.niddk.nih.gov%2Fresearch-funding%2Fresearch-programs%2Fdiversity-programs%2Fnetwork-minority-health-research-investigators-nmri&data=02%7C01%7CHeather.Brumberg%40wmchealth.org%7Cffc73f9c11a74ec2051c08d84e9e480c%7C04a4e212fbc24cbdacc567389ee10acb%7C0%7C0%7C637345789005748050&sdata=D66kqD7OPBclVSnCF4eSWkfgord7GdkKmfVVLfVmOc8%3D&reserved=0

The Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, formerly known as the Minority Medical Faculty Development Program, was created to increase the number of faculty from historically disadvantaged backgrounds who can achieve senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing and who will encourage and foster the development of succeeding classes of such physicians, dentists, and nurse-scientists. Four-year postdoctoral research awards are offered to historically disadvantaged physicians, dentists, and nurses who are committed to developing careers in academic medicine and to serving as role models for students and faculty of similar background. https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amfdp.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CHeather.Brumberg%40wmchealth.org%7Cffc73f9c11a74ec2051c08d84e9e480c%7C04a4e212fbc24cbdacc567389ee10acb%7C0%7C0%7C637345789005748050&sdata=PPGXui2kAE09WzxSoB3ojvA4JQIW6Ysl%2FXQlO4ZLxkU%3D&reserved=0
