The federal Cooperative Agreement award titled "STRENGTHENING RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AT MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE (MEHARRY-STRONG)" is funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The $50,000 award will allow Meharry Medical College, a private historically Black academic health sciences center, to assess its current research capacity and develop an institution-wide action plan to enhance its research infrastructure and competitiveness. The project aims to engage stakeholders, conduct a comprehensive needs assessment, and formulate an actionable plan with specific interventions to build Meharry's research capabilities and foster an environment conducive to developing research careers for trainees and faculty. Accomplishing these goals is expected to increase Meharry's ability to contribute to the biomedical research enterprise and address health disparities affecting minority and underserved populations.
