Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are junior faculty or investigators at Morehouse School of Medicine pursuing biomedical or behavioral health disparity research who can benefit from mentorship and grant-writing support.
✕Less likely to help
Patients may not directly benefit from the mentorship program itself, but may benefit indirectly as researchers advance.
What this research studies
This grant supports mentorship, grant-writing workshops, and targeted development activities for a diverse group of investigators at Morehouse School of Medicine. It includes coordinated pilot projects, biweekly progress check-ins, and collaborative efforts across programs to sustain small research initiatives, especially in the context of COVID-19 disruptions. The focus is on helping junior faculty grow as independent researchers who can pursue biomedical and behavioral studies that address health disparities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could accelerate the careers of researchers and advance health disparities science that benefits patients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar development cores have trained investigators and supported pilot projects, showing that structured mentoring can boost research productivity.
