NIMHD Mission The mission of NIMHD is to lead scientific research to improve minority health and eliminate health disparities. To accomplish this, NIMHD: • Plans, reviews, coordinates, and evaluates all minority health and health disparities research and activities of the National Institutes of Health • Conducts and supports research in minority health and health disparities • Promotes and supports the training of a diverse research workforce • Translates and disseminates research information • Fosters innovative collaborations and partnerships

Minority Health Definition • Minority Health-Distinctive health characteristics and attributes of the minority racial and/or ethnic groups in the U. S. Minority Health Populations- OMB categories • Black or African American • Asian • American Indian or Alaska Native • Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander • Latino or Hispanic

Health Disparities Definition • Health Disparity-A health disparity is defined as a health difference that adversely affects disadvantaged populations, based on one or more of the health outcomes. • Health disparity populations include racial/ethnic minorities, low SES, sexual and gender minorities, and underserved rural populations.

NIMHD Health Disparities Research Institute The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) hosts the Health Disparities Research Institute (HDRI) every year for one week (~August 2020). The HDRI aims to support the research career development of promising minority health/health disparities research scientists early in their careers and stimulate research in the disciplines supported by health disparities science. The program will feature lectures, mock grant review, seminars, small group discussions on research relevant to minority health and health disparities. It will also include sessions with NIH scientific staff engaged in related health disparities research across the various institutes and centers. Check our website NIMHD Health Disparities Research Institute website.

Advice for New Investigators • Talk to program officials at NIMHD and other NIH Institutes and Centers • Take advantage of NIH’s New Investigator Policies • Pursue funding both as PI and collaborator • Co-investigator on research grants • PI of center grant subprojects/pilot projects • Administrative and diversity supplements

Crafting a Fundable Research Idea ØFOCUS: State in succinct, direct sentences o What is the gap in the scientific literature the project aims to fill? o How does the project address Health Disparities or Minority Health? o What is the public health significance of the project? o What is novel and innovative about the project? ØCLARITY: Use a clear and concrete narrative style. o Aim at a non-expert reader. . o Describe expected outcomes in concrete, measurable terms. ØSPECIFICITY: Say what you mean. o Include essential information and important details. If it isn’t in the application, it can’t be scored. ØCOMMON SENSE: DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! o Speak with the appropriate Program Official—early and often. o Proof read, proof read. o Share your proposal with trusted colleagues and mentors for feedback
