CLaRO’s Investigator Development Core hosted a Training Institute on January 11, 2022.  This Training Institute was titled “Latino Health Disparities Research Training Institute.” Due to ongoing concerns with the Omicron variant of COVID-19, this Training Institute was held virtually.

CLaRO’s Training Institutes on Health Disparities comprise a training program that aims to provide early career investigators with research experience and to increase their skills so they can ultimately develop and submit competitive NIH R-level research grant applications. Topics discussed in this training program include: NIMHD’s health disparities research framework, etiology of health disparities in Latino populations, grantsmanship, and responsible conduct of research issues that are particularly relevant to health disparities research.
