Training Institutes
The CLaRO Training Institute on Health Disparities is 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.
The most recent CLaRO Training Institute, held January 2022, 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.
Although the January 2022 CLaRO Training Institutes was held virtually, we are planning in-person follow-up mentoring and networking events for early stage investigators who focus on health disparities research.
