This FOA invites applications from qualified institutions to create or continue Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) and a RCMAR Coordinating Center. The RCMAR Programs mission is to address the national priority of reducing health disparities with special emphasis on health disparities in an aging population.
