UAlbany gets $1M from Hearst to target health disparities

Hearst Foundations has granted the University at Albany $1 million to expand the fellowship program of the Center for the Elimination of Minority Health Disparities. With the grant, the center will be able to recruit five new fellows, according to a news release sent out Tuesday. Established in 2016 with funding from the National Institute of Minority Health disparities, the fellowship program brings in scholars from underrepresented, marginalized communities — many of whom have first-hand experience with the disparities the program studies.
