The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) will host the Health Disparities Research Institute (HDRI) from August 3 — 7, 2020 at the NIH campus (Natcher, Building 45 conference center rooms). The HDRI aims to support the research career development of promising early-career minority health and health disparities research scientists and stimulate research in disciplines supported by health disparities science. Applications will only be accepted from extramural scientists who meet NIH’s Early Stage Investigator (ESI) eligibility criteria.

The program will feature lectures, mock grant reviews, seminars, and small group discussions on research relevant to minority health and health disparities. It will also include sessions with NIH scientific staff engaged in related health disparities research across the various institutes and centers.

Please encourage extramural scientists who are early in their careers and have a research focus in minority health and health disparities to apply to the institute.

All applications must be submitted via the HDRI application portal by the due date; emailed applications will not be accepted. Applicants are encouraged to apply before the deadline since late submissions will not be accepted.

• HDRI Application Portal Opens: Monday, February 3rd, 2020 (9:00am EST)
• HDRI Application Portal Closes: Monday, March 9th, 2020 (5:00pm EST)
