# Recruitment Core

> **NIH NIH U54** · MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE · 2021 · $104,201

## Abstract

The goal of the Recruitment Core is to recruit and hire committed health disparities 
basic, clinical or behavioral researchers in order to support Meharry Medical College's 
research vision of developing real solutions to conditions disproportionally affecting 
minority populations. The Recruitment Core will leverage our Research Endowment 
Funds, the Investigator Development and the Administrative Cores of this proposal in 
order to continue to advance disparities research at Meharry. The Recruitment Core will 
be implemented through the following specific aims: 
1) Hire two independent mid-career or senior scientists to provide additional 
mentorship. 
2) Together with the RCMI faculty team, mentor junior faculty and senior post-docs 
 in health disparities research 
Retention of the recruited faculty will be supported by careful attention and support for 
their research leveraging funds from this core. Additionally the senior faculty will benefit 
from a robust Research Infrastructure Core including a Biostatistics Core as well as a 
strong Community Engagement Core. We are confident that we will recruit faculty 
members with high caliber who will be attracted by our mission and are committed to join 
us to address health disparities research.
