Who is eligible:
The program specifically targets African American, Hispanic or Latino, and

services research or disparities research.

The program covers the cost of travel and registration for 15 scholars to
attend the AcademyHealth 2010 Annual Research Meeting (ARM)
(http://www.academyhealth.org/events/content.cfm?ItemNumber=882&navItemNumber=529)
in Boston, June 27-29, and participate in other ARM activities including a
pre-conference Methods Workshop of the scholars' choice and attendance at
