UNTHSC Awarded Federal Endowment to Impact Health Disparities

The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth was recently awarded the $10 million John Lewis National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Endowment by the National Institutes of Health. This is now the second time the institution has been awarded this endowment to strengthen research into minority health and health disparities.

“The incredible investment the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities has made in HSC over the past five years, and again in these next five, further solidifies this institution as a national leader in health disparities research,” said Dr. Sylvia Trent-Adams, HSC president. “This important work of health disparity research and promoting health equity makes an impact on a national scale, and it’s work that we will expand, enhance and continue to champion with this generous federal support.”
