Texas Resource Center on Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) Pilot Program
A one-year mentored pilot award for behavioral and social science research on health and aging in under-represented populations, with particular emphasis on Hispanic communities in the U.S. and Latin America. Scholars get structured career development alongside the money — proposal development, IRB, data collection, presentations, publications — explicitly aimed at positioning them for a K01 or R01. The three-university consortium structure means the award is not confined to a single campus.

- Junior and mid-career faculty conducting behavioral and social science research on health and aging in under-represented populations. The consortium spans the University of Texas Medical Branch, UT San Antonio and UT Austin; investigators outside those campuses should confirm mentored-affiliation arrangements with the center before applying, since the program is run as a mentored scholar cohort rather than an open subaward.
