About RCMI
The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) program enhances the research capacity and infrastructure in minority colleges and universities that offer doctorates in health sciences. Because many investigators at RCMI institutions study diseases that disproportionately affect minorities, the program serves the dual purpose of bringing more minority scientists into mainstream research and enhancing studies of minority health.
RCMI support is provided by the NCRR Division of Research Infrastructure, a component of the National Institutes of Health. It provides funding to recruit established and promising researchers, acquire advanced instrumentation, renovate laboratories for competitive research, fund core research facilities, and other research support.
This activity is managed by Morehouse School of Medicine and hosted by the RCMI Programs at Ponce School of Medicine, Universidad Central del Caribe, and University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus.
