The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of Minority Health (CMS OMH) is announcing the availability of funds under the Minority Research Grant Program (MRGP) to test promising solutions that achieve health equity.
The purpose of the MRPG is to support researchers at minority serving institutions that are exploring how CMS can better meet the health care needs of CMS beneficiaries. The MRGP supports research on the discovery and characterization of health processes, practices, behaviors, and burdens or issues related to CMS programs, policies, and operations, that influence health equity.
Goals
- The three goals of the MRGP are to:
- Develop capacity at minority serving institutions to research health disparities and social determinants of health;
- Understand the root cause of issues – processes, practices, behaviors, and burdens – that lead to health disparities and identify replicable interventions; and
- Strengthen CMS programs by disseminating best practices uncovered through funded research.
