The Medical Training Program (MTP) is funded by the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD), NIH and provides basic research and scientific experience to medical students interested in integrating biomedical research in health disparities in the practice of medicine. Selected medical students will be matched with prominent scientists in the basic sciences and will participate in a selected research project. Students are financially compensated for their participation in the program and will be required to attend scientific seminars, special lectures, and research colloquiums.
Applicants for these programs must be US citizens or permanent residents and members of one of the following groups under-represented in biomedical research: African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, or Pacific Islanders.
