Eligible institutions include Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions, and Tribal colleges and Universities.

Each institution can be awarded a grant of up to $333,000 for research that addresses health disparities impacting racial and ethnic minority groups; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals; individuals with disabilities; individuals living in rural areas; and individuals who are otherwise negatively impacted by persistent poverty or inequality.
