Dr. Eliseo J. Pérez-Stable, Director of National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), believes in uplifting others to see real progress in improving minority health and reducing health disparities. The National Institutes of Health engaging in Research-Active Institutions (RAIs) through the EARA Initiative may help identify and address some of the barriers that contribute to disparities in biomedical and behavioral research.
