Maternal Health Research Collaborative for Minority-Serving Institutions (MH-RC-MSI) Research Centers

Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal & Child Health Bureau

Builds the capacity of minority-serving institutions to conduct quantitative and qualitative research on the root causes of disparities in maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, and to develop community-based solutions. Recipients must engage communities throughout, train early-career researchers, publish, and submit at least one external grant proposal for sustainability.
