Description: This announcement seeks competitive applications for small applied research projects that relate to identifying and evaluating solutions for eliminating health disparities among the African American population. Additionally, the project should enhance the capacity of HBCUs to successfully compete for CMS research and program funds in the future. HBCUs are expected to become involved in the design, implementation, and operation of research projects that address health care issues such as financing, delivery, access, quality, and barriers affecting the African American community. CMS is seeking these types of research projects because of its belief that HBCUs play a pivotal role in finding solutions to the many difficult health issues that have a significant impact on the health of African Americans. The unique expertise, knowledge, reputation, and sensitivity that HBCU investigators can bring to the design, implementation, and operation of such research will be a key to advancing the national, state and local agenda of eliminating health disparities.
