The FAMU School of Allied Health Sciences received a $6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD). The project will establish a Center for Health and Health Care Disparities at FAMU that uses research, training, community partnerships, coalition building and social transformation to create models for eliminating health disparities.
The grant meshes perfectly with the School's ongoing efforts to affect health disparities in underserved communities of color. The Allied Health program at FAMU offers bachelors and masters degrees in several disciplines.
