TI  - The Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Translational Research 
      Network: Building and Sustaining Capacity for Multi-Site Basic Biomedical, 
      Clinical and Behavioral Research.

AB  - The Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) program was established by 
      the US Congress to support the development of biomedical research infrastructure 
      at minority-serving institutions granting doctoral degrees in the health 
      professions or in a health-related science. RCMI institutions also conduct 
      research on diseases that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities 
      (ie, African Americans/Blacks, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Hispanics, 
      Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders), those of low socioeconomic status, 
      and rural persons. Quantitative metrics, including the numbers of doctoral 
      science degrees granted to underrepresented students, NIH peer-reviewed research 
      funding, peer-reviewed publications, and numbers of racial and ethnic minorities 
      participating in sponsored research, demonstrate that RCMI grantee institutions 
      have made substantial progress toward the intent of the Congressional 
      legislation, as well as the NIH/NIMHD-linked goals of addressing workforce 
      diversity and health disparities. Despite this progress, nationally, many 
      challenges remain, including persistent disparities in research and career 
      development awards to minority investigators. The continuing underrepresentation 
      of minority investigators in NIH-sponsored research across multiple disease areas 
      is of concern, in the face of unrelenting national health inequities. With the 
      collaborative network support by the RCMI Translational Research Network (RTRN), 
      the RCMI community is uniquely positioned to address these challenges through its 
      community engagement and strategic partnerships with non-RCMI institutions. 
      Funding agencies can play an important role by incentivizing such collaborations, 
      and incorporating metrics for research funding that address underrepresented 
      populations, workforce diversity and health equity.
