The National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities was developed in 2000 to assist in the investigation of factors affecting minority health. Its mission is to promote minority health and to ultimately eliminate health disparities. The federal government did not create scholarships and traineeships specifically for minority applicants, establish grants for minority health projects, or legislate funds to create new colleges to address the improvement in health disparities.
