Nursing Partnership Centers on Health Disparities (P20)

This mechanism is available only when announced in the NIH Guide.

NINR uses this research center mechanism occasionally. This mechanism is only available when specifically announced in the NIH Guide through a Request for Applications (RFA). Investigator-initiated applications are not accepted for this mechanism.

The purpose of these research centers is to foster development of nursing partnerships between researchers, faculty, and students at Minority Serving Institutions and institutions with established health disparity research programs. The goal is to integrate and take maximum advantage of the respective experiences and expertise. The aims of the award are to (1) expand the cadre of nurse researchers involved in health disparities research, (2) increase the number of research projects aimed at eliminating health disparities, and (3) enhance the career development of potential nurse investigators who are underrepresented in nursing research. The Centers below are paired or grouped by their partnership awards.
