Research activities should address disparities in alcohol related health problems of target populations. MSIs are institutions that have a documented record of commitment to the encouragement of minority faculty members, students, and investigators. A significant proportion of students at the MSI are from racial and ethnic minority groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. Mechanism of Support.
