DURHAM, N.C.
The Departments of Nursing at North Carolina Central University and Winston-Salem State University and the School of Nursing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently launched the Center for Innovation in Health Disparities Research (CIHDR).
The new center is one of eight university-partnered national centers recently funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) to address disparities in health-care practice and research. The NINR and the NCMHD are both branches of the National Institutes of Health. More than $1.5 million was awarded to fund the program over a five-year period.
