The Deep South Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) is designed to enhance the size and diversity of the scientific workforce advancing the fields of minority aging and health disparities. We are a research-based, mentoring partnership of four academic institutions working together to recruit investigators from under-represented backgrounds, provide education in aging and health disparities research, guide career development through collaborative mentoring, and sustain progress to successful, independent research careers. The research focus of the Deep South RCMAR is on reducing health disparities between Black/ African American and White older adults in the Deep South.
