Additional Information of Eligibility:
The CMS Office of Minority Health administers the Minority Research Grant Program (MRGP).

The three goals of MRGP are to: 1.
Develop capacity at minority serving institutions to research health disparities and social determinants of health; 2.
Understand the root cause of issues – processes, practices, behaviors, and burdens – that lead to health disparities and identify replicable interventions; and 3.
Strengthen CMS programs by disseminating best practices uncovered through funded research.
