  • Development of Research Supplements for Underrepresented Minorities Program, through which investigators with NIH grants may receive research support for underrepresented minorities on their grants. In order to facilitate the use of this program among behavioral and social scientists, the OBSSR has developed a web page that will link underrepresented minority students with potential research mentors.
