## Abstract

Abstract
CDU’s RCMI AXIS Recruitment Core will recruit at least two nationally renowned and respected senior
investigators with expertise in addressing health disparities research. The Recruitment Core in partnership with
the Deans, Department Chairs and Faculty at CDU will conduct a national search that will ensure that applicants
from underrepresented backgrounds are actively sought out. We will engage national and local academic
partners and collaborators. These individuals will have demonstrated track records in obtaining independent
research support as assessed by NIH-R series, P-series, and/or U-series awards. The senior level investigators
will increase the number of mentors available to CDU early stage investigators and post-doctoral fellows.
