Summary
The National Institutes of Health is ending its Minority Biomedical Research Support Program, which provided funding and training opportunities for minority researchers and institutions to conduct medical research. This change will eliminate a program designed to increase diversity in scientific research and reduce funding available to underrepresented groups pursuing biomedical careers.
Key Points
- 1The NIH is shutting down a federal program that specifically supported minority scientists and researchers in biomedical fields
- 2Schools and research institutions that relied on this program's funding will lose that source of money for research and training
- 3Minority students and early-career researchers who benefited from mentorship and financial support through this program will no longer have access to these resources
- 4The program's related regulations are being formally removed from federal rules
- 5This affects universities, historically Black colleges, and research centers that served as hubs for developing diverse talent in medical and biological sciences
